Singer Curtis did not live to see this British band's best single become a hit. He committed suicide in May 1980, two days before a scheduled American tour. "Ian's influence seemed to be madness and insanity," said guitarist Sumner. After Curtis' death, Joy Division carried on under the name New Order.
