Stephen Morris on music legacy and band tensions

Overview

Stephen Morris, drummer for Joy Division and New Order, has expressed skepticism regarding the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Morris stated he does not understand the purpose of award ceremonies and characterized the decision to induct Joy Division and New Order as a combined induction as ‘a bit of a cheat.’

Morris also addressed his long-standing feud with former bandmate Peter Hook, which originated from Hook’s 2007 departure from New Order. Morris described Hook as an “angry person” and noted that previous creative and touring disagreements led to legal disputes.

As the joint induction approaches in November, Morris expressed doubt regarding a potential reunion or reconciliation with Hook. Additionally, Morris mentioned facing undisclosed health issues that might affect his ability to attend the ceremony.
