MANCHESTER, England, May 4 (UPI) -- Bassist Peter Hook has revealed hit British band New Order has split up, and this time he said it is for good.
In an interview with Xfm Friday Hook confirmed the legendary Manchester band had gone their separate ways.
The interview was originally meant to cover the new part that Hook has played in Jane's Addiction front man Perry Farrell's new band, Satellite Party, Xfm said.
"When someone phoned me up and told me that I was on Perry Farrell's record, I thought bloody hell my drinking must be bad, I don't remember meeting Perry Farrell, and I don't remember the session. It is definitely me, and I did get to the bottom of it eventually," Hook said.
It turns out the tracks were originally recorded with Hybrid, Welsh techno wizards, and were later picked up by Farrell, all without Hook even knowing about it.
However, during the phone call the conversation turned to New Order's future and Hook revealed New Order's split.
"I spoke to Perry, and he'd heard about New Order splitting up and he asked me to play bass. Well yeah, me and Bernard (the bands lead singer) aren't working together," he said.
