Peter Hook: Fans Put Us in Hall of Fame
21 Apr
Summary
- Peter Hook believes fans, not the band, secured the Hall of Fame induction.
- He ruled out a reunion with former bandmates for the induction ceremony.
- Hook detailed ongoing feuds and legal battles with ex-band members.
Peter Hook, reflecting on Joy Division and New Order's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, credited the fans for the achievement.
He stated that the fans' efforts were crucial, especially as the band members themselves showed little impetus for the induction.
Hook conveyed a complicated emotional response to the honor.
He shared his delight for a long-time fan and pilot who has championed the bands' inclusion for over two decades.
Hook expressed that a reunion with his former bandmates for the ceremony is highly improbable due to significant animosity and unresolved legal disputes.
He noted that while he doesn't anticipate playing with them, he remains open to the possibility under specific circumstances, likening it to life's unpredictable nature.
The music's enduring appeal across generations, from Joy Division's beginnings in the late Seventies to New Order's 1980s success, was also a key point.
Hook's current band, The Light, is touring, performing New Order's 2001 album 'Get Ready'.
