My first birthday present.
New Order carry on without Hook!!!
New Order's Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris have said they will continue without bass player Peter Hook.
Hook recently announced on a radio station that the legendary Manchester band had split up, but Sumner and Morris said they were surprised.
"We would have hoped he could have approached us personally first," the duo said in a statement.
"New Order have not split up," they added. The band are known for hits including Blue Monday and Regret.
"Whatever happens musically or otherwise, New Order have not split up, they continue to exist," the statement continued.
Some may say that Peter Hook IS New Order but I disagree. Regardless, I just hope they release a new album soon to finally deny these alligations once and for all.
P.S. Joe bought me really super expensive champagne for my birthday! And guess what? It'll be legal for me to drink it!
