Part 2 of Stephen Morris’ memoir focuses on the New Order years up to 2007. It’s funny, incredibly frank and wonderfully well written.

Not just about the music, also about his family and the heart-breaking demise of his father (something I totally relate to having gone through it will my recently deceased mother). Top read.

A fantastic read. I sincerely hope Stephen puts pen to paper for a third volume at some point.
Very enjoyable and a refreshing counterpoint to the other other two's memoirs.
