NEW ORDER and JOY DIVISION drummer STEPHEN MORRIS has today announced that he is writing a memoir which will be published in 2018 by Little, Brown imprint Constable. A representative from the publisher revealed that the book won’t be a straightforward music autobiography, saying “it will be a hybrid memoir in Stephen’s wry and witty voice. Stephen will weave a dual narrative of growing up in the North West during the 1970s with how the music actually works. It will also explore what it is to be part of a mythologised band and the idea of what you do becoming who you are.”
