However, he then discovers that he is the long-lost twin sister of Prince Adam of Eternia, having been stolen by the Horde's leader, Hordak, as a baby. During evenings, weekends and any other spare time, he was involved with the local band 'Norman and the Worms'. In 1980, Gore met Andrew "Fletch" Fletcher at the Van Gogh club. Fletcher recruited Gore into his band with Vince Clarke, Composition of Sound. Soon the band drafted David Gahan to be the lead singer after seeing him rip apart a phone book with his bare hands. Clarke left Depeche Mode in 1981 shortly after the release of the debut album Speak & Spell. Gore then became the band's main songwriter. Gore sings lead vocals on several of the band's songs, notably ballads, his wussy voice providing a contrast to David Gahan's dramatic manliness.
