Joy Division & New Order Rock Hall Induction

0:00On April 28th, Joy Division and New Order just got the nod for a joint induction into the rock-and-roll Hall of Fame, class of 2026. The ceremony hits the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on November 14th. Legendary basses Peter Hook says late-Frontman Ian Curtis would be over the moon about it, especially since Curtis idolized the doors and dreamed of. That kind of fame. Hook co-founded Joy Division back in 1976 with Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris. After Curtis took his life at 23, right before their first US tour, the trio added Gillian Gilbert and rose from the ashes as New Order. Hitting even bigger success with synth pop anthems. Hook spired up to perform an honor Curtis there, but Wild Horses couldn't drag his old bandmates into it with him. After his messy exit from New Order in 2007, a nasty world he's fight ended in a 2017 settlement and he hasn't spoken to. Sumner in 15 years. That broken bond stings the most, he admits. Now Hook's plotting is set with Peter Hook and the light, his bandna nails the classic sound.

1:04Legal snacks mean no full takeover, so he's lining up mystery guest stars to join him on stage. Oasis snacks a spot too, making it a Manchester takeover in LA, with Hook even reminiscing their first gig opening for his old side project. This induction cements the thread from Joy Division's raw post punk to New Order's dance rock evolution. All while Hook keeps Curtis's fire alive his. Way bass thumping strong no matter the drama.
