Forty years ago today the world lost the brilliant and legendary Ian Curtis.
Curtis was one of the greatest lyricists and songwriters of all time and touched so many lives with his incredible talent. He left behind a catalog of beautiful, dark and haunting music that was way ahead of its time. Without Curtis and Joy Division, the world would be an empty and less meaningful place.
Countless tributes have been posted to mark the 40th anniversary, but truly the best tribute of all is to spend time today listening to Joy Division and reflect upon the unique brilliance of Ian Curtis and how his life and timeless music resonated and impacted the world and continues to span generations.
R.I.P.
40 years on, Ian is still a part of our lives and will always be in our memories.— Joy Division (@joydivision) May 18, 2020
