In the early hours of 18 May 1980, Ian Curtis hanged himself in his kitchen after having viewed Werner Herzog's film Stroszek and listening to Iggy Pop's The Idiot. At the time of his death, his health was failing as a result of his epilepsy and a hectic touring schedule, and his marriage was falling apart.Tony Wilson later said, "I'd been warned on a train to London two weeks earlier by Annik (Honoré, Curtis' lover). I asked her, 'What do you think of the new album.' She goes, 'I'm terrified.' I said, 'What are you terrified of?' She replies, 'Don't you understand? When he sings 'I take the blame' He means it.' And I go, 'No, he doesn't mean it - it's art'. And guess what? He fucking meant it".Curtis's memorial stone, which is inscribed with "Ian Curtis 18-5-80" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart", was stolen in July 2008 from the Cheshire cemetery where he is buried.

Video clip de la canción "Transmission" del grupo inglés de finales de los 70 Joy División.Este es mi pequeño y humilde homenaje sobre todo a su cantante Ian Curtis, que se quitó la vida a la edad de 23 años... Quien sabe qué podría haber sido del grupo si él siguiera con vida... Aunque sin Ian tampoco les fué nada mal: New Order y Mercury Rev, dos grandes grupos que nacieron de la escisión de Joy Division tras el suicidio de Ian Curtis. [ More Detail ]

Joy Division, Ian Curtis, Live, dark and dense : "She's lost control" !!! - Lyrics : " Confusion in her eyes that says it all.She's lost control.And she's clinging to the nearest passer by,She's lost control.And she gave away the secrets of her past,And said I've lost control again,And a voice that told her when and where to act,She said I've lost control again.And she turned around and took me by the hand and said,I've lost control again.And how I'll never know just why or understand,She said I've lost control again.And she screamed out kicking on her side and said,I've lost control again.And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die.She said I've lost control.She's lost control again.She's lost control.She's lost control again.She's lost control.Well I had to 'phone her friend to state my case,And say she's lost control again.And she showed up all the errors and mistakes,And said I've lost control again.But she expressed herself in many different ways,Until she lost control again.And walked upon the edge of no escape,And laughed I've lost control.She's lost control again.She's lost control.She's lost control again.She's lost control."Joy Division : She's lost control, Joy Division performs She's lost control, Koy Division dans She's lost control, Ian Curtis, Joy Division : She's lost control, Live - Ian Curtis -- They walked in line - She's lost control -- Transmission -- Shadowplay -- Love will tear us apart -- The sound of music -- Sister Ray -- Ceremony -- New dawn fades -- Warsaw -- Walk in line -- Day of the lords -- Atmosphere -- Twenty four hours - Disorder -- Ice age -- Preston warehouse -- Les Bains douches -- Komakino -- New order -- Blue Monday -- The perfect kiss -- Bizarre love triangle -- True Faith -- Ian Curtis and Joy Division -- Manchester -- Factory, New Order plays Blue Monday, New Order, Joy Division, Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Ceremony, In a lonely place, Movement, Everything's gone green, The Haçienda, Manchester, Madchester, Video 586, Power, corruption &Lies, Blue Monday, Confusion, Thieves like us, Ecstasy, The perfect kiss, Sub-Culture, Bizarre love triangle, Love culture, All day long, Every little count, Brotherhood, True Faith, Technique, Fine time, Run, Vanishing point, Making out, World in motion, Republic, Regret, Ruined in a day, World, Spooky, 1963, Get ready, Crystal, 60 miles an hour, Someone like you, Waiting for the siren's call, Krafty, Jetstream, Ceremony, Temptation, Shellschock, State of the nation, Touched by the hand of God, Round and round, Here to stay, Echo and the Bunnymen, Ian McCulloch, Porcupine, Ocean Rain, The killing moon, seven seas, people are strange, Bring on the dancing horses, The Fall, It's the new thing, Galley, middle mass, leave the capitol, hip priest, totally wired, The Stone roses, So young, Sally Cinnamon, Elephant of stone, Made of stone, She bangs the drum, One love, I wanna be adored, Waterfall, Love spreads, Ten storey love song, Begging you , Crimson tonight, Inspiral carpet, Happy Mondays, Forty five E.P, Step on, Kinky Afro, Wrote for luck, Hallelujah, Gods cop, Durutti Column, Factory Club, sketch for summer, sketch for winter, Katharine, Lips that would kiss, Vini Reilly, Factory Records, The Mothmen, Simply Red, money's to tight to mention, Holding back the years, Jericho, something got me started, stars, Tuxedomoon, Pinheads on the move, no tears, scream with a view, what use ?, why is she bathing ?, time to lose, short stories, Sex pistol, The Smiths, Joy Division - The Cure - Desintegration - Faith - Charlotte sometimes - Cure - Robert Smith - Seventeen seconds - Killing an Arab - A forest - Letter to Elise - Desintegration - Lovesong - Lullaby - Charlotte - Three imaginary boys - Boys don't cry - Pictures of you - Fascination Street - Lol Tolhurst - Friday, I'm in love - The Cure - One hundred years - Pornography - The hanging garden - Let's go to bed - The walk - The lovecat - Head on the door - The Cure - In between days - Close to me - Standing on a beach - Kiss me - Why can't I be you , - Just like heaven - Out of this world - Accuracy - Foxy lady - Fire in Cairo - Seventeen seconds - Play for today - The figurehead - Dressing up - The caterpillar - The head on the Door - Kyoto song - The Cure - A night like this - Catch - Hot hot hot - The perfect girl - Prayers for rain - Homesick - Last dance -- Strange attraction - Wild mood swings - Mint car - Joy Division in She's lost control.

Joy Division, Ian Curtis intensely perform "Shadowplay", Live - Lyrics : " To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,In a room without window in the corner I found truth.In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect,But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.I did everything, everything I wanted to,I let them use you for their own ends,To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you."Joy Division -- Ian Curtis -- Shadow play - She's lost control -- Transmission -- Shadowplay -- Love will tear us apart -- The sound of music -- Sister Ray -- Ceremony -- New dawn fades -- Warsaw -- Walk in line -- Day of the lords -- Atmosphere -- Twenty four hours - Disorder -- Ice age -- Preston warehouse -- Les Bains douches -- Komakino -- New order -- Blue Monday -- The perfect kiss -- Bizarre love triangle -- True Faith -- Ian Curtis and Joy Division -- Manchester -- Factory, New Order plays Blue Monday, New Order, Joy Division, Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Ceremony, In a lonely place, Movement, Everything's gone green, The Haçienda, Manchester, Madchester, Video 586, Power, corruption &Lies, Blue Monday, Confusion, Thieves like us, Ecstasy, The perfect kiss, Sub-Culture, Bizarre love triangle, Love culture, All day long, Every little count, Brotherhood, True Faith, Technique, Fine time, Run, Vanishing point, Making out, World in motion, Republic, Regret, Ruined in a day, World, Spooky, 1963, Get ready, Crystal, 60 miles an hour, Someone like you, Waiting for the siren's call, Krafty, Jetstream, Ceremony, Temptation, Shellschock, State of the nation, Touched by the hand of God, Round and round, Here to stay, Echo and the Bunnymen, Ian McCulloch, Porcupine, Ocean Rain, The killing moon, seven seas, people are strange, Bring on the dancing horses, The Fall, It's the new thing, Galley, middle mass, leave the capitol, hip priest, totally wired, The Stone roses, So young, Sally Cinnamon, Elephant of stone, Made of stone, She bangs the drum, One love, I wanna be adored, Waterfall, Love spreads, Ten storey love song, Begging you , Crimson tonight, Inspiral carpet, Happy Mondays, Forty five E.P, Step on, Kinky Afro, Wrote for luck, Hallelujah, Gods cop, Durutti Column, Factory Club, sketch for summer, sketch for winter, Katharine, Lips that would kiss, Vini Reilly, Factory Records, The Mothmen, Simply Red, money's to tight to mention, Holding back the years, Jericho, something got me started, stars, Tuxedomoon, Pinheads on the move, no tears, scream with a view, what use ?, why is she bathing ?, time to lose, short stories, Sex pistol, The Smiths, Joy Division - The Cure - Desintegration - Faith - Charlotte sometimes - Cure - Robert Smith - Seventeen seconds - Killing an Arab - A forest - Letter to Elise - Desintegration - Lovesong - Lullaby - Charlotte - Three imaginary boys - Boys don't cry - Pictures of you - Fascination Street - Lol Tolhurst - Friday, I'm in love - The Cure - One hundred years - Pornography - The hanging garden - Let's go to bed - The walk - The lovecat - Head on the door - The Cure - In between days - Close to me - Standing on a beach - Kiss me - Why can't I be you , - Just like heaven - Out of this world - Accuracy - Foxy lady - Fire in Cairo - Seventeen seconds - Play for today - The figurehead - Dressing up - The caterpillar - The head on the Door - Kyoto song - The Cure - A night like this - Catch - Hot hot hot - The perfect girl - Prayers for rain - Homesick - Last dance -- Strange attraction - Wild mood swings - Mint car - Gone!
