Peter Hook has shared a sweet message for late Ian Curtis.
As fans will know, Peter played with Joy Division until 1980.
His departure was triggered by the death of his beloved bandmate, who took his own life at the age of 23.
Dedicating the honour to the band’s late frontman, Peter Hook shared that Joy Division’s place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is “for Ian Curtis” in a new Instagram video.
He even confirmed that he will attend this year’s ceremony.
He began, “I’d like to say that this is for Ian Curtis, and for all our fans of both bands.”
“Without you, we would be nothing,” he remarked.
This recognition comes after years of discussion about why Joy Division and New Order had not yet been recognized by the Hall.
Previously, in a 2025 interview with NME, Peter weighed in on the delay of this recognition by Hall of Fame and claimed that it has been caused due to a long-running split between the two camps.
He further explained, “You’re in a weird situation here, because the camps don’t have any communication and actively don’t like each other.”
