...this man died. Don't know if anyone of you really cares, but at one point in my life he was all I had, and he didn't let me down then.

RIP Ian.

I'll go home and play some Joy Division in his memory tonight.

Ian Curtis.

Watch 24 Hour Party People, Josh, the first half is all about the Joy Division years, it's a great, great movie.

RIP, Ian Curtis. He was a true genius. Joy Division's music has to be some of the most amazing I've ever heard, if not *the* most amazing. I'm gonna listen to my JD mix tonight in his honor. <3

Already 25 years? Incredible. I knew Joy Division only after his death, but they (and partly New Order) together with David Bowie, made me survive musically the eighties. I owe them a lot.

RIP Ian

Well let us at least have the memories he filled us with Closer and Substance, and many other songs, and albums
