Bassist Peter Hook has confirmed that New Order has split, citing personal reasons.
Hook confirmed the news to BBC 6 Music whilst attending the Mojo Awards in east London. It followed comments made in early May to Xfm Manchester that he was no longer working with Peter Sumner.A 'visibly upset' Hook told the BBC, "It has been very sad actually, and it has been very difficult to live with, but that is life, isn't it? But you pick yourself up, you dust yourself off, and you start all over again."
He wouldn't relay any specific reasons behind the split, saying only "it's personal".
