    He was so young, I really think he just needed a few years to come out the other side of his deep depression. I was similarly depressed but my attempts failed and now it’s easier for me to deal with the impulses. Still would rather be dead than alive but I can’t do that to loved ones.

      It wasn't just the depression, but the Epilepsy and the side effects from the meds he was taking to try to combat it. A poor tortured soul. I love JD but it also makes me melancholy when I listen to Ian and the band, but it is a good melancholy, if that makes sense.
      I hope you can continue to see the world in vibrant colors. Take care of yourself my friend.

      His wife said he was depressed and planning to kill himself since before he developed epilepsy. As a depressive, the original poster is spot on in his assessment.

    I completely agree with Ian when he says he cannot like a certain band because there’s things he likes and also doesn’t like about them. I’m the same I say I like a lot of bands but in reality I probably like a handful of there songs.. joy division went on to be a game changer, unknown pleasures is the only perfect album I’ve listened to in my life, every song is special to me. Thank you Ian for creating the most powerful and brilliant music to ever be created!

    A articulate, highly intelligent young man. A greater loss to culture even than Cobain or Hendrix, perhaps, because at least we had them for 27 years, and those two great American musicians produced far more material in their almost-as-brief lives than Ian managed to.
