Joy Division had the world at their feet. Then, on the eve of that tour and the beginning of what would surely have been an international success story, the band's troubled lead singer, Ian Curtis, killed himself. 'We didn't really think about it afterwards. It just sort of happened. One day we were Joy Division, then our lead singer killed himself and the next time we got together, we were a new band' - Peter Hook. That band was New Order. Their distinctive sound paved the way for the dance music explosion of the '80s and earned them the reputation as one of the most influential bands of their generation. Peter Hook has written a comprehensive account of the band's entire history, including every set list and tour itinerary and interspersed with 'geek facts' of every piece of electronic equipment used to forge the sound that changed the direction of popular music.
