New Order frontman and Joy Division member Bernard Sumner is set to publish his memoirs, with Chapter and Verse coming later this year.
Chapter and Verse will tell Sumner’s entire life story, with particular focus drawn to his hugely influential music career. It’ll come out on 25 September via Bantam Press.
Meanwhile, Pitchfork also confirm that New Order are working on a new album, their first LP since Peter Hook’s departure in 2007, expected in 2015.
That’s the cover for the aforementioned autobiography beneath:
