With Antoine Corbijn's biopic 'Control' out on 5 Oct expect lots of Joy Division stories in the coming days. And here's one for today - Ian Curtis' former band mates Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Bernard Sumner have been reminiscing about their days as part of Joy Division (though possibly not in the same room, given current inter-band tensions) and the difficulties that the band faced as Curtis struggled with epilepsy and depression.
Speaking to The Sun, Stephen Morris said: "Looking back, I wish I'd helped him more. I think that all the time... but we were having such a good time and you're very selfish when you're young. Epilepsy wasn't understood then. People would just say, 'He's a bit of a loony - he has fits'".
Peter Hook, meanwhile, says he's glad Curtis' story is being told through 'Control', saying: "'Control' shows how important Ian's role was in the band. He was the driving force who held it together when we were upset or down. He'd always inspire us to keep trying".
