New Order split up--this time for good?
Yahoo! Music, May 4, 2007 4:00 pm PDTNew Order have split up, according to bassist Peter Hook.
As previously reported, the band denied they were splitting earlier this year despite drummer Stephen Morris being quoted as saying: "We should stop for a while."
Speaking about his involvement in Perry Farrell's Satellite Party, Peter Hook told Xfm that the band have broken up.
He said: "I spoke to Perry, and he asked me to play bass, as he'd heard about New Order splitting up. Wellm yeah, me and Bernard [Sumner] aren't working together."
When asked if the split was permanent, he added: "Bernard went off for a break with Electronic, but that was different. But it's like the boy who cried wolf this time."
