New Order have split up according to bassist Peter Hook.

As previously reported the band denied they were splitting earlier this year despite drummer Stephen Morris being quoted as saying: "We should stop for a while".

Speaking about his involvement in Perry Farrell's Satellie Party, Peter Hook told Xfm that the band have broken up.

He said: "I spoke to Perry, and asked me to play bass, as he'd head about New Order splitting up and he asked me to play bass. Well yeah, me and Bernard (Sumner) aren't working together."

When asked if the split was permanent, he added: "Bernard went off for a break with Electronic but that was different. But it's like the boy who cried wolf this time."

I escaped somehow. Let's go

actualy [sic] I have quite a blessed life if I'm honest. I have many people to love, hate few and have few money problem's [sic].... What more does a person need? Oh yeah and I have some kind of humbleness unlike you of course ^_^ ~ CarefulCarpenter

I did not care for the last record...but they did have a good run...kind of sad though.

I thought they announced it several months ago after the last gig. NME is a bit slow.

What bort said.
