Depeche Mode recruiting fans to run their Facebook page

British rockers Depeche Mode are planning to hand over control of their Facebook page to fans for the next year.

The fan takeover, designed to promote their new album 'Spirit,' will allow a new devotee each day to run the group's official profile, keeping more than seven million followers updated with "personal anecdotes, videos, concert photos, covers of the band's songs, or other Depeche Mode-related content", reported Contactmusic.

In a video message, frontman Dave Gahan said, "Hello there, this is Dave. Right now, me and the boys are busy getting ready for our upcoming Spirit tour, and the release of the album Spirit, so we're gonna ask you, the fans, to take care of our Facebook page.
 

"Every day for a year, you, the fans, will get to post your stories, pictures, whatever you like, for a whole year..."

Special guests will also be brought on board throughout the year to carry out "curatorial duties".

Fans interested in participating have been invited to apply for the curator role via the official Depeche Mode website.
