You Should Never Meet Your Fans
Getting to meet Peter Hook at the launch of his book 'Unknown Pleasures - Inside Joy Division'. I got to ask a question during the Q&A about what people thought about Ian Curtis' unique voice when they started off and it was interesting to hear his reaction. Criticism would have probably resulted in physical violence. He also wondered how he would have faired in the era of Simon Cowell.
He discusses how he dealt with Ian's suicide and it's aftermath here.
