30 years ago today Joy Division front-man/song writer Ian Curtis took his own life. After a troubled marriage, and suffering from epilepsy, Curis hung himself the day before Joy Division were to start their first North American tour.
Already highly influential, Joy Division could have made an impact on music on a much larger scale had they made that tour. Then again, New Order would never have happened in the aftermath.
He was only 24 years old and had already left his mark.

The mention of New Order is just an acknowledgment that they followed the end of Joy Division.
