In an interview with Xfm last night (May 4), New Order bass player Peter Hook confirmed that legendary Manchester band New Order have split up. And this time it's definitely for good...
Xfm Manchester DJ Clint Boon, called up Hooky to speak to the bassist about the part he's played in a new project from Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, Satellite Party.
"When someone phoned me up and told me that I was on Perry Farrell's record, I thought bloody hell my drinking must be bad, I don't remember meeting Perry Farrell, and I don't remember the session. It is definitely me, and I did get to the bottom of it eventually.
�When I did a session with Hybrid [Welsh techno wizards] which was about two years ago I did a couple of tracks at the end, jammed on a couple of track that they said they were going to use for their next songs.
�After that they lost their record company, decamped to America, and somehow bumped into Perry Farrell surfing in Santa Monica - as you do when you're Welsh techno wizards. Perry Farrell was in the doldrums and they teamed up and started working together in the studio. Perry heard the outtakes and felt immediately inspired and knocked off two tracks that I don't; even know existed�
However, during the phone call, conversation turned to the future of New Order, and Hook let split news of New Order's split. Saying,
"I spoke to Perry, and he'd heard about New Order splitting up and he asked me to play bass. Well yeah, me and Bernard [Sumner - New Order singer] aren't working together.�
When asked if the spilt was permanent (the band have had breaks in the past) Hooky explained,
�Bernard went off for a break with Electronic [his side-project band with Johnny Marr] but that was different. But it�s like the boy who cried wolf this time�

| It happens to all eventually. I guess I'll take them off my Pollstar concert notification. A sad end to one of the founding fathers of EDM, and producers of tracks that will not die for edm eternity. |

| Didnt "New Order" have tons of financial record company woes for many years putting them into tons of debt and making them one of few bands to create so many hits and barely earn a single pound from them? |
