Hook was a co-founder of Joy Division along with Bernard Sumner in 1976. Together, they recruited vocalist Ian Curtis and drummer Stephen Morris to complete the quartet. The band reformed as New Order following Curtis’ suicide in May 1980. Along the way, Hook has had a number of solo efforts, most notably with bands Revenge (1989-1993) and Monaco (1996-2001). In May 2007, Peter Hook announced that he and Bernard Sumner were no longer working together, which at that point seemed to spell the end for New Order. The remaining trio of Sumner, Morris and Cunningham continued as Bad Lieutenant and Hook continued to work with his new band project, Freebass. This band released It's a Beautiful Life in September 2010 and promptly split. Since 2007, Hook has kept himself busy with his new band The Light and has toured around the world, playing Joy Division's first album Unknown Pleasures live. Subsequent tours featured other Joy Division and New Order albums. The current line-up is Peter Hook, Jack Bates, Paul Kehoe, David Potts and Martin Rebelski. Peter Hook and Light released a string of live albums featuring Joy Division and New Order material. Read moreShow less
