New Order Still Soldiering On, Minus One
This week Bernard Summer and Steve Morris made the following statement: "After 30 years in a band together we are very disappointed that Hooky has decided to go to the press and announce unilaterally that New Order have split up. We would have hoped that he could have approached us personally first. He does not speak for all the band, therefore we can only assume he no longer wants to be a part of New Order. New Order have NOT split up, they continue to exist".Meanwhile, Peter Hook shared this quote with NME last week (in addition to hinting at the split months back): "We've decided not to work together anymore. It's been on-off-on for a while and last time we just went out separate ways."
Should the band call it a day or keep hope alive?

WOW, somehow I missed this in the last week.
I have been a HUGE JD and NO fan for nearly 20 years now, they are clearly my favorite band(s) ever.
I, like most would love to see them live on forever, but man, it would just not be the same with out Hooky.
I think it's time for the band to preserve it's fantastic legacy and just to sail off into the sunset.
I'm not talking retirement here, but it's time to look at other projects.
They should really call it a day, but now things are messy and they've long botched any chance of a dignified clean break..
