The Continuing Saga - Hook Maintains New Order is Finished

New Order bassist Peter Hook is disputing claims that the band will go on without him. On May 17, neworderonline.com posted a story stating that "a source close to the band" claimed that Hook's departure doesn't mean the remaining band members won't continue as New Order. The story went on to say that Hook's (May 9) MySpace blog post announcing that the band had split was a surprise to the rest of New Order. On May 24, Hook posted a reply, writing, "well now who could be closer to the band than me! i love these unnamed sources or shall we call them cowards eh?" Hook continued, "bernard stephen andy and rebecca know whats happened and andy and rebecca have known since november! its a great shame i know and no one feels it more than me!" The blog post also talked about going to Cannes for the screening of Control (other New Order Members were also in attendance).
