In the early hours of 18 May 1980, Curtis hanged himself in the kitchen of his house in Macclesfield, England. He had just viewed Werner Herzog's film Strozek and listened to Iggy Pop's The Idiot. At the time of his death, his health was failing as a result of the epilepsy and attempting to balance his musical ambitions with his failing marriage. His wife found his body the next morning. Wilson later said, "I'd been warned on a train to London two weeks earlier by Annik [Honoré]. 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? He means it.' And I go, 'No, he doesn't mean it - it's art.' And guess what? He fucking meant it."
So Yeah, i just got listening to some Joy Division. Everytime i listen to them, i have a new favorite song. right now, it's 'She's Lost Control'. good shit. But if you're unfamiliar with them, i would reccomend "Love Will Tear us Apart" and "Ceremony" (which was never released under Joy Division, but as New Order's First single, which was pretty much Joy Division minus Ian Curtis)
