Encyclopedic overview
Peter Hook (born 13 February 1956) is an English musician. He is the former bassist and co-founder of the post-punk band Joy Division and its successor New Order. He often used the bass as a lead instrument, playing melodies on the high strings with a signature heavy chorus effect.
Along with Bernard Sumner, Hook formed the band which was to become Joy Division in 1976. Following the death of lead singer Ian Curtis in 1980, the band reformed as New Order; Hook played bass with the band until 2007. In 2026, Hook was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Joy Division/New Order after two previous nominations.
