A new band, New Order, was formed in the aftermath of Curtis's passing, with Joy Division guitarist Bernard Sumner taking over vocal duties and leading the band in a more commercial and dance oriented sound, New Order would see themselves as influential as Joy Division was to a whole new generation, proving that the seeds sown by Curtis's time with the group continued to grow.
Curtis去世後,一支新的樂隊New Order成立,Joy Division的吉他手Bernard Sumner接過了主唱的工作,並帶領樂隊以更加商業化和舞曲為導向的聲音,New Order會認為自己和Joy Division一樣,對全新一代人有很大的影響力,證明Curtis在樂隊期間播下的種子還在繼續成長。
