The only in-depth biographical account of the legendary lead singer of Joy Division, written by his widow.
Revered by his peers and idolised by his fans, Ian Curtis left behind and legacy rich in artistic genius. Mesmerising on stage but introverted and prone to desperate mood swings in his private life, Curtis died by his own hand on 18 May 1980.
'Touching From A Distance' documents how, with a wife, child and impending international fame, Curtis was seduced by the glory of an early grave.
Regarded as the essential icon of the post-punk era, 'Touching From A Distance' includes a full set of Curtis' lyrics, discography and gig list.
