“Something must break”, 1980-2009

“He killed himself on Saturday night. I couldn’t believe it. He must have been a pretty good actor. We didn’t have a bleeding clue what was going on. You tried to help him with your limited experience and you did what you could, but as soon as you left him he went back, you know?” (Peter Hook)

“The week before, we went and bought all these new clothes; he was really happy” (Rob Gretton)

“I don’t think Ian was worried about the American tour” (Bernard Sumner)

“If he was depressed, he kept it from us” (Steve Morris)

I believe Ian chose his deadline. It was important to keep up the charade in front of the band in case they tried to dissuade him. The only reason he was no longer worried about the American trip was because he knew that he wasn’t going.

(Deborah Curtis “Touching from a distance”, Faber and Faber, 1995)
