		Curtis' last live performance was held in the same month as his death and included Joy Division's first and last performance of the song "Ceremony", which was later used by New Order.

		Deborah Curtis tells her story - and her husband's - with terrifific passion and urgency but with a heatbreaking, neverending determination to understand who he was and what led him to take his own life.
