Peter Hook talks about New Order split

Peter Hook has been talking about the split of New Order, which has been implied in various previous interviews, mainly with Hookie, but has never been officially announced (or, at least, not that I can remember). He was asked about the split by the Beeb at the Mojo Awards earlier this week. He refused to give a specific reason for the split, accept to say it was for "personal reasons". But he did say that he thought the demise of the band was "sad", saying: "It has been very sad actually, and it has been very difficult to live with, but that is life, isn't it?" It is a shame that New Order are no more, of course. Also a shame that Johnny Marr is busy doing the Modest Mouse thing. With New Order's Bernard Sumner with more time on his hands again, wouldn't it be great if there was an Electronic revival? I was listening to their debut album the other day - I'd forgotten how damn good it was. 'Get The Message' is currently filling the role of "track I name when people ask me what my favourite song ever is".
