Peter Hook revealed to NME that he's suing ex-bandmates over use of the New Order name:
"It's in the hands of the lawyers. The point is that they shouldn't be using the New Order name without me and it's up to the lawyers."
He also made a few comments about New Order and Joy Division:
"We threw everything into New Order and that worked while New Order were together, but it didn't work for me and I thought that I've watched people all around the world celebrate Joy Division, but why can't I? When I do it, I'm a villain. It's especially strange now that you've got someone purporting to be New Order, I'm grieving for New Order too because I realize that's over."
Hooky will be releasing a book about Joy Division titled Inside Joy Division which will likely drop in September. Read the entire article in today's NME here.
