Totally unexpected. I was looking forward to his film Green Room. What a strange world this is.

Didn't somebody say a while ago that Von would probably only allow the long-awaited "new album" to be released after he died?... I could see him doing something like that. Not a thing I like to think about, especially with the way celebs are getting picked off left and right this year.

Happy birthday, Von!

2016 has been an incredibly cruel year so far. I still can't believe this news. RIP.

I don't suppose anybody would be kind enough to translate the rest of the interviews into English, would they? I'd like to know what else he's talking about (more of the same in any case, I imagine?)

Interesting stuff. Nice to see he still has his cats, but what ever became of Von's poodle?

Thanks for sharing! I've seen the pics from this interview but have never read the full article before.

Excellent picture! I've never seen it before either.

Do a couple of really vague interviews and talk about the "new album" some more... It's totally ready to be released any day now, totally...

Wow, those are great! Thanks for sharing, I hadn't noticed them.

Much thanks for the scans! Nothing new, it seems, aside from the whole Poodle bit... I do have trouble imaging Von with a poodle, of all things. Wonder what happened to his cats?

Just think of how many potential new fans are going to forever associate the Sisters with that scene. Awful, truly awful!

Hmm... But I do wonder what Von thinks of how they chose to use his song?

Didn't see that coming.

...That is...pretty strange actually. Anything else interesting you'd be willing to share? The shops around here don't have the new issue in yet.

Can't wait, even if the interview does turn out to be more of the same.

I'd love to see it myself. Is there anywhere I could find it?

My prediction:

The album will be finished some time next year, followed by the first North American Sisters tour in years.

I don't think his flat has been burgled. But the dressing room was in 2006. They lost loads off two laptops Yes, that actually happened, and it was back in 1993. The incident was mentioned briefly in the 'Surely Some Mystique' interview with Melody Maker. Some fans apparently burgled his home in Le...

EmmaPeelWannaBe wrote:but I keep wondering, what would 's basement be like?

Dark, cavernous - bats hanging from the ceiling, coffins strewn about. Von's basement is Dracula's crypt.

Those groovy heart-shaped glasses he wore in the '90s. Or maybe the FALAA-era hat.

...Alternatively, I'd snag a copy of The Damage Done and sell that sucker for as much cash as I could get out of it. Always got to think of making a profit, you know...

Oh, I think it's hilarious. Better than some of the covers I've heard...

You'd probably have better luck with sky writing. At night. Fair enough. Hey, thanks for the suggestions everyone. I am not very familiar with twitter but trying to contact them there is good idea. More than likely won't get a response but it doesn't hurt to try! Keep us informed. If he asks you on...

Uhhh... that's an extremely weird comparison if I've ever seen one. Maybe it's because I am not so familiar with Swift's music, but I have trouble comparing her in any way to Von--vocals or otherwise. Bizarre.

Ah, I figured as such. Thanks anyway for the quick reply. I'm unable to go to any of the upcoming gigs this year, so I guess my letter will have to wait until next time.

Hi all, I'd love to send a fan letter of some sort to the Sisters, however considering Mr. Eldritch's penchant for privacy, it does not seem like contact information is readily available on the internet... I probably won't be able to find a way to get in contact but I figured this place would be as ...
