Ya es oficial: New Order se separa.

Peter Hook, su ilustre bajista, anunció hace un par de días en el blog de la banda que, tras lo que declaró en un show radial, la historia de New Orden llegó a su final:

life goes on!

Renaciendo de las cenizas de Joy Division, tal vez la banda más importante de los últimos 30 años, transformó la música popular ayudado en gran medida por su curiosidad en los nuevas tecnología, teniendo sus días de gloria a lo largo de los ochentas. Nuestros buenos deseos para Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris (el trío sobreviviente de JD), Gillian Gilbert, y Phil Cunningham. No es que nos vayan a leer, pero igual, se les va a extrañar.
