Not really; they are well documented and I’ve already done that in my Joy Division book and, anyway, all the books are about Ian’s death in a way. We were very young. I was just twenty-four and, looking back now, in my early sixties, shockingly young to have to deal with any of it. We were now very, very nervous. What would happen? Would we succeed in any way now Ian had gone? Were we good enough on our own . . . without him? We were scared.
