Overview
- Hook, who posted a video Tuesday, dedicated the honor to late frontman Ian Curtis and said he will attend the Nov. 14 ceremony in Los Angeles.
- The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame said the two names will enter as one act because New Order grew directly from Joy Division after Curtis’s death.
- It is still unclear whether Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert will take part, given years of acrimony and a legal fight that ended in a 2017 settlement.
- The Peacock Theater hosts the ceremony in Los Angeles, with a recording set to air in December on ABC and Disney+.
- Joy Division formed in 1976 and issued Unknown Pleasures in 1979 before Curtis died in 1980, after which the remaining members created New Order and moved toward an electronic pop sound.
