Description
Stephen Morris presses play once more with the long-awaited second volume of memoirs. Poised on the brink of success, the unknown lay ahead after the loss of Ian Curtis. Determined, Morris emerged from the wreckage of Joy Division to form New Order, setting their sights on America. Despite new disasters, the band persevered, driven by their haphazard path to greatness. Fast Forward tracks the changing rhythm of Morris's life and the music that shaped it. The book explores the highs and lows of New Order, including the challenges of working with his girlfriend, Gillian, who joined the band. The memoir also delves into the formation of The Other Two project, born during one of New Order's hiatuses. With raw honesty, Morris strips back a lifetime of fame and fortune to tell the story of how New Order threatened to implode time after time. Despite everything, the legacy of their music continued to hold them together. This candid and reflective memoir offers a unique insight into the life and career of Stephen Morris, and the enduring power of New Order's music.
