Translated latest article:

It is part of rock mythology, well despite it. Annik Honoré was the girlfriend of the lead singer of Joy Division for a few months, until the moment where he ended his days on May 18, 1980. She died this Thursday, July 3 of a serious illness. She was 56 years old. It would be simplistic to retain of Annik Honoré as its history with Ian Curtis. It was also and especially a personality active in the Belgian musical environment, helping to develop a local scene until then non-existent: it thus co-founded the label Disques du Crepuscule in 1980 and organized between 1979 and 1984 concerts have become mythical at Plan K in Brussels, such as the Birthday Party of Nick Cave and, of course, Joy Divisionthe first of the Group United outside Great Britain. It recently crossed the far in concerts, such as the AB for Benjamin Biolay or Dour last year, evidence that the passion for music had not left it. Born in 1957 in Mons...

For the US fans here, per James Nice's excellent "Shadowplayers" book, it's also worth noting that she managed Front 242's first tour of the States in 1984.
