Today marks thirty years since the tragic death of Joy Division frontman, Ian Curtis. Aged just twenty-three, Curtis took his own life in the kitchen of his Macclesfield home in the early hours of May 18th 1980, with Iggy Pop's 'The Idiot' still left on the record player.Altough his career with Joy Division was only brief, he is considered to be one of the greatest lyricists and performers of his generation. His songs have become his legacy and some say the birth of indie music.
Truly an inspiration, Ian Curtis is a legend that will never be forgotten.
