Billy Corgan & Peter Hook Play “Love Will Tear Us Apart”

Share

On Friday night at Metro in Chicago, local rock God and cat lover, Billy Corgan, joined Peter Hook on stage for a rousing edition of the legendary Joy Division track, “Love Will Tear Us Apart.”

Hook, a founding member of both Joy Division and New Order, was performing that evening with his new band, The Light, before inviting Corgan and fellow Smashing Pumpkins member, Jeff Schroeder, up to help close out the night with the iconic track.

Recently, Corgan has been hard at work on new Smashing Pumpkins music, and thus far what’s been heard has been very encouraging. The band’s new album, Monuments to an Elegy, is expected on December 14.

Here is fan-shot footage of the Hook and Corgan collaboration:
