Remembering Ian Curtis

A couple of weeks before the untimely passing of Malcom Owen of The Ruts, Ian Curtis, frontman of Joy Divsion committed suicide by hanging himself. At aged 23 he had so much to give and who knows what Joy Division would have sounded like if they had got to release more than two albums ('Unknown Pleasures' - 1979 and 'Closer' - 1980).
