Great band. Tragic, life-destroying epilepsy made Ian Curtis a prisoner of his own body, and he took his own life at age 23.
He was mis-diagnosed and given the wrong medication.
[...Ian Curtis a prisoner of his own body, and he took his own life at age 23.”
I believe he killed himself just before kicking off their North American tour. Love both Joy Division and New Order.
Coincidentally, I bought Pet Shop Boys/New Order tickets for a show in Chicago in 2020. The concert was cancelled due to Covid, and then delayed to 2021 and then to 2022.
My wife and I attended the show last summer, FINALLY, and it was amazing. You forget how much those two bands shaped the 80s and 90s.
Unforgettable show, and New Order ended with “Love will tear us apart.”
Winning!
