Do you pay any mind to what they are up to at all?

“Yeah, course. It’s like looking at your ex-girlfriend on Facebook. We all do it.”

Were you a fan of their last album ‘Music Complete’?

“I enjoyed it, I have to say. It sounded like Electronic to me, you know. I think that’s my answer to it.”

The day comes we start reading mild compliments of Gillian, we're 12 months out from a reunion. Time stamp it.

I think a reunion ‘may’ happen at some point. Might be a few years off though.

Although he’s said some pretty horrible things (especially about Gillian), I wouldn’t be dead against him coming back. He is, after all, a very important, and influential, part of the band.

But if he didn’t come back, I still think the band are in a good position. I think they’re the strongest musically they’ve been since Factory.

i don't think he will ever come back, no matter what money or incentives there would be.

he's burned too many bridges here.

yes, new order would sound a lot better with him, but only when it comes to the older music (pre 90's).

everything after that doesn't really need him on it, so it's not much of a loss.

Yes but why even mention it in the article? He must really be lamenting the last 10+ years. If I didn't know all the things that have gone on i'd *almost* feel sad for him. I'm glad its over and he can allow himself to move on. Regardless, i'll see him in a few months for the US tour :)
