Peter Hook chats it up with fans during Reddit AMA


Peter Hook chatted it up with fans today on Reddit.

During the 90 minute AMA (ask me anything) the legendary bassist answered questions about his favorite Joy Division and New Order songs, memories, and relationship with his ex-bandmates. As always, Hooky's answers were most entertaining and intriguing. His response to questions about playing again with his ex-bandmates were heartbreaking, though, not unexpected in the least.

Read some of Hook's responses below and head over to Reddit to scroll through the entire AMA.

Peter Hook And The Light will be heading back to North America later this year to perform Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures and Closer in full with a New Order opening set. Head here for tickets and more info.
