New Order singer Bernard Sumner has revealed details of his autobiography.
Titled 'Chapter And Verse (New Order, Joy Division And Me)', the book will be published by Transworld on September 25.
According to the press release, Sumner's first book "includes a vivid and illuminating account of Bernard’s Salford childhood, the early days of Joy Division, the band’s enormous critical and popular success, and the subsequent tragic death of Ian Curtis. Bernard describes the formation of New Order, takes us behind the scenes at the birth of classics such as 'Blue Monday' and gives his first-hand account of the ecstasy and the agony of the Haçienda days."
"Sometimes moving, often hilarious and occasionally completely out of control, this is a tale populated by some of the most colourful and creative characters in music history, such as Ian Curtis, Tony Wilson, Rob Gretton and Martin Hannett. Others have told parts of the story, in film and book form. Now, for the first time, Bernard Sumner gives you chapter and verse."
In related news, New Order have recently previewed a new song, tentatively titled "Plastic", listen to it here.
