Joy Division and New Order Enter Rock Hall as Peter Hook Alone Accepts and Performs

A lone onstage appearance served as a vivid sign of persistent splits inside New Order following decades of influence.

Overview

  • Trent Reznor formally inducted Joy Division and New Order in a Peacock Theater ceremony Saturday night, calling the bands among the most influential of the past 50 years.
  • Peter Hook was the only member of either group in attendance and performed Joy Division and New Order songs with Deftones and Chvrches singer Lauren Mayberry.
  • Hook used his acceptance speech to thank fans and reflected on a 50-year career while declining to acknowledge his estranged former bandmates.
  • Bernard Sumner did not attend, and Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert were absent because Gilbert is undergoing cancer treatment and Morris has stepped away from band duties.
  • The ceremony will air on ABC on Dec. 8 from 8–11 p.m. EST and will be available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu the following day, giving wider access to the night's tributes and performances.
