Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Peter Hook were all part of rock group Joy Division. With the suicide of leading singer/songwriter Ian Curtis in 1980, they decided to form New Order in the following year and Gillian Gilbert joined the band. "Blue Monday", released in 1983, became their first top 30 hit. During their brief hiatus in the 1990's, all four members were part of other minor groups: Sumner was part of Electronic along with Johnny Marr and Pet Shop Boys duo Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe; couple Stephen Morris and Gilbert made The Other Two; and Hook was part of Monaco , that had the hit "What do You Want From Me?".
