THE
FIRST & ONLY BIOGRAPHY ON ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND SECRETIVE
MUSICIANS Confusion is the story of Bernard Sumner’s life and times from the back streets of Salford to the international fame and critical acclaim of Joy Division, Electronic and New Order. Jolted
into action by the punk explosion of 1976, Sumner is the man who stepped
into the shoes of Ian Curtis after his suicide in 1980 and steered New
Order through even greater success, helping to create Acid House,
the second Summer of Love and The
Hacienda nightclub in Manchester, the most famous club in the world
and a magnet for the city’s gun and drug culture. His collaborations
with The Smith’s Johnny Marr created Electronic,
the first true post-punk supergroup. But
Sumner’s past – even his
real name - has always remained a mystery ... until now. In a work
of rare investigative depth, Nolan re-writes the history of one of
music’s most influential figures – and in the process nullifies many
myths – through exhaustive primary source research, dozens of
exclusive interviews and scores of previously unseen photos. Confusion
will become the definitive work on the subject. |
