The future of New Order is again in doubt, after Peter Hook confirmed the band have split up.
??
The bass player appears to have clarified recent reports that the legendary Manchester group will not work together again.
??
Hook revealed the news in an interview about Satellite Party, Perry Farrell's new band, just days before the premiere of the Joy Division biopic "Touching From A Distance".
??
He said: "I spoke to Perry, and he asked me to play bass, as he'd heard about New Order splitting up. Well yeah, me and Bernard (Sumner) aren't working together."
??
In the interview with XFM, Hook said the split was definite. "Bernard went off for a break with Electronic, but that was different. But it's like the boy who cried wolf this time."
??
"Touching From A Distance" is directed by Anton Corbijn and is based on the book of the same name, written by Ian Curtis' widow Deborah.

This week, it was announced that the movie will be premiered at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, which takes place between May 16-27 at Cannes in France. |
