Peter Hook Refuses Joy Division Hall of Fame Induction

0:00On April 24th, Peter Hook, the bassist from Joy Division and New Order, is drawing a hard line. He's flat out refusing to reunite with his old bandmates for their rock and roll Hall of Fame induction this November. No stage sharing, no photos, nothing, all because of a bitter feud that's lasted years. The bad blood started when Hook left New Order in 2007, thinking the band was over. But they were formed in 2011 without him, kept the name, and that sparked a lawsuit in 2015 over $3,500,000. Dollars and lost worldties. They settled it in 2017, but the damage was done. Hook hasn't talked to some of those guys in 15 years, and he says it's about standing by his principles. Joy Division kicked off in 1978 with singer Ian Curtis, who tragically took his own life in 1980, leading to the shift. Into New Order. Fans hoped the Hall of Fame nod'd my heel things, especially honoring Curtis, but nah. Hooks clear there's no quick fix like a one-night

1:01truce. They'd have to actually rebuild some kind of real connection after everything they've put him in his family through. He admits, you never say never, but right now, it's a firm no. This riff shows how deep these band breakups can cut, leaving legacies fractured even as the honors roll in. That's your update from Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI.
