They've done it before.....

Ok so Hooky is out, and from the sounds of it is never coming back. That's fine, If he doesn't want to do it anymore, don't force him. Thanks for the great memories! He is still tops in my book.

But why not just bring Gillian back in the mix, and slide Phil over to pick up some of the bass parts, and to be honest a lot of Hooky's stuff could easily be played on guitar.

So there we still have 3/4 of the "True New Order Lineup". Isn't that what we have had since 2001 anyways?

I don't want to get in a who is more important to New Order than the other argument. If the rest of them want to carry on, I think that solution works.

Barney and (I think) Steve don't like touring.

Only Hooky did.

Yep, they split in '93 and got back together in '98. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the same thing happens again. You can never say never with NO!

Unlikely, unless they want to reform at between 55 and 60 years old...
