Peter Hook: New Order = Split

We knew this was coming... we just didn't want to believe it.

Peter Hook tells XFM the following regarding Perry Farrell's Satellite Party and New Order's potential involvement in the festival: "I spoke to Perry, and he asked me to play bass, as he'd heard about New Order splitting up. Well yeah, me and Bernard (Sumner) aren't working together."

When asked if this split is similar to the one the band took nearly two decade ago, Hook says: "Bernard went off for a break with Electronic, but that was different. But it's like the boy who cried wolf this time."

I sense some hostility, don't you? Either way, this is sad sad news.
