llustrated with 8 pages of glossy B&W and full-color photos .. Includes discography, gig list and song lyrics; many previously unpublished. Forword by Jon Savage. The only in-depth account of the leader of Joy Division, written by his widow -- Revered by his peers - Bono described his voice as 'holy' - and idolized by his fans, Ian Curtis left behind a legacy rich in artistic genius. He was a mesmerizing performer on stage, yet also introverted and prone to mood swings. Enigmatic to the last, Ian Curtis died by his own hand on 18 May, 1980. Touching From A Distance describes Curtis's life from his early teenage years to his premature death on the eve of Joy Division's first American tour. It tells how, with a wife, child and impending international fame, he was seduced by the glory of an early grave. What were the reasons for his fascination with death? Were his dark, brooding lyrics an artistic exorcism? All is revealed. ***
