Hooky's 'Statement' - Not good news for those holding out for reconciliation

Well im here at last with my statement! im travellin round america at the moment so its difficult for me to reply properly> Ive decided to tell the whole story? so itll be an amusing? insight into how groups work...

FIRST. Damning me for doing something as in not coming to you personally? and then doin the same thing , never heard of two wrongs dont make a right?

My god if i was to list my disappointments with this group id miss my plane to frisco.My first thoughts were very angry but now ive slept on it or not rather its sadness really ! this is getting political and personal so here goes......................

SECOND> never assume anything! This group has SPLIT UP! you are no more new order than i am! you may have two thirds but dont assume you have the rights to do anything NEW ordery cos you dont ive still got a third! But am open to negotiation.

THIRD. Just in case you hadnt noticed weve not had a "PERSONAL" relationship for a long time now...years in fact! whenever you contact me its through the management(like hale and pace eh?) i did exactly the same you all knew what was happening re the split! in FEBRUARY! using cannes and mojo as some excuse to at last get your own back is wrong.

FOURTH. i have never spoken on your behalf i wouldnt presume to. i spoke for myself WE HAVE SPLIT! as traceyBB would say "deal wiv it!so as one third of ex new order im off to gate 36 and pizza hut. ive got a lot to tell you all but this has worn me out for a while so normal; service will be resumed as soon as possible!

See you in court! love hookyx

BLOODY HELL!

Hooky's been getting on my nerves for a while now so I'd like to take this opportunity to post one smiley: :finger:

DJ my arse

Oh right yes.just read it.Hope he enjoyed his pizza and caught his big jet plane

Not good. If they're going down the courts route eventually, I can see it getting very bloody. That would be a tragedy for a band who were built on overcoming adversity and staying together. Not for nothing was an album called Brotherhood!

I guess all that has slowly changed to the point whereby Hook and Sumner can't bear to be in the same room anymore, let alone work together. That's very sad. I soooooo much want them to solve their issues and continue to be the greatest band ever.

OMD split amid acrimony in 1988 and it took three years of legal wrangling before McCluskey was able to continue under the name and release an album. They've made it up and I've seen the classic line-up twice in three months.

It might be too early at the moment as the harsh words are flying but please please please consider this: you are an exceptional band and the world will be a sadder, darker place without you. If it really is over, please let it be so conclusively as there cannot be a true New Order without Peter Hook. Whatever issues you have with each other, please try and sort them out.

Hello mate.

You're up as late as I am! Naughty lad. I've just dropped Hooky a line on MySpace. See you for a few tomorrow?

Cheers Al

Hooky eats in Pizza Hut?!

Phillistine. WTF is wrong with Pizza Express! Show some class, Hooky!

I'll bet he does the weekday afternoon £5 all you can eat buffet meal deal too. Cheap fecker.

this sux!!

what a sad day..

Are we to assume that Hooky said back in Feb. that NO was no more if things stayed the same, and Bernard and Stephen just ignored him... I can see why Hooky is pissed.

everybody should boycott any new hooky-less New Order with hired hands on guitar and bass and canned synths ... what is the point at this point?

Bollox to that. I'll boycott him spinning Captain and Tenille again for a tenner though, no problem.

Ah double crap again.

As much I love the Order I have gotten used to the idea that the ride is over, well at least New Order with Hook.

I don't much like this idea of boycotting any of them though. I think after 25 years they are free to do as they like. I never got this concept that artists owe us anything. I'd like them to resolve their differences as friends though.

I agree, Pizza Hut's crap! Even Pizzaland (remember them?) were better - especially that advert where the slice was lifted away from the other slice, and it spelt Pizzaland in melted cheese!

Poor Steve, I'm sure he couldn't give a fuck as long as the roadie remebers to put the seat on top of his drumstool, yet his career (for want of a better word) is determined by those two nobberts :(

Is Hooky being a bit of a pleb? yup. Do I find it difficult to believe that Barney could drive a saint to genocide? Nope.

Hooky,

You should be dancing!!!
