“I don’t want to do anything else and I don’t want to retire,” Andrew Eldritch told Louder in 2021. True to his word, The Sisters of Mercy have played nearly 200 gigs since then – in Europe, the Americas and Australasia. They already have more booked for 2025: Bearded Theory in the English Midlands, a sprint through France, Spain and Germany, and their habitual residency at the Roundhouse in London.
The Sisters of Mercy’s ‘late period’ rolls on… But right now, Eldritch is taking a breather, the longest since the pandemic-enforced shutdowns. While Eldritch has his feet up, we asked collaborators, fellow travellers, band members, and musicians inspired by The Sisters (and The Sisterhood, Eldritch’s infamous 1986 side-project) to choose their favourite song from Andrew Eldritch’s 40-plus years of making music.
