Short story:
Joy Division have a gig at Derby Hall, Bury, UK, but their singer, Ian Curtis, is in hospital, having attempted suicide the night before.
Full article:
Bernard Sumner (Joy Division) : It was a complete disaster. We had to pull Ian out of psychiatric hospital. He came to the gig, couldn’t go on, and Simon Topping of A Certain Ratio went on instead. The crowd freaked, and a full-scale riot went on. A lot of people got bottled. Ian saw this and, of course, thought it was his fault. He just broke down again.
