The lead singer of Depeche Mode might not have a solo career to speak of -- or any career, for that matter -- had he not literally died and been reborn. Addicted to booze and drugs, Gahan overdosed on a mixture of heroin and coke in 1995 and was revived three times before truly coming to.

That album combined themes of hope and rebirth with the darker things that brought Gahan to this place.
