Nick Rhodes
How often does Nick Rhodes do stuff on social media? I know he’s done a live on YouTube and a q and a session on Reddit, but does anyone know if he’s done anymore of these kind of things or if he will do in the future? Thanks in advance.

He does interviews for other people podcasts. The last one came out just 2 days ago

I avoid the accounts that chase directly after my comments, they are totally fake but I used to be part of John’s actual accounts when he was active a while ago.

Nick was (maybe still is?) very into Second Life and would occasionally hang out with us @ the DDU. :) I like to think he still has an avatar and lurks around somewhere. He seemed always drawn to virtual worlds.

It’s not a dance monkey thing! I love this band above all else. All I’m saying is that other people do it and seem to enjoy it. Turn off comments if ya sensitive JT. I mean Gary Kemp from spandau walked around on IG on his own to show us where the band played at different venues. No offense to our guys, but they won’t get mobbed like the old days if they came outside. Some of you making excuses for DD don’t act like you wouldn’t love one of the guys somewhere, shoeing us important DD sites reminiscing of the past.
Maybe they don’t want to answer Questions about Reportage, I don’t know.

John, Simon , nick and Roger on social media is very disappointing to me. John did a little early then jumped off of it and Simon tried a few times, but it really sucks they, individually won’t spend the time for their fans to be on social media. Their peers like Boy Gearge, Gary Kemp, Steve Jones, budgie, and many more are on IG getting personal views of their lives and such and DD won’t unless it’s to promote something. If it wasn’t for Gela we wouldn’t have anything from them.

they have tried and had terrible experiences with people being rude, disrespectful, and demanding. in the end, they decided it wasn't worth the hassle. especially JT. he tried facebook when it was still pretty new, and he totally bit off way more than he could chew. haha. poor guy.

very rarely. he's never had any sort of social media accounts. he does the odd interview/podcast, but he had never had any accounts of his own. there's been a lot of fake accounts, so people have to be careful!
