Bernard Sumner announces autobiography, Chapter and Verse
New Order guitarist set to release career-spanning autobiography.
New Order guitarist Bernard Sumner has announced plans to release an autobiography on 12 September, via the publisher Bantam Press.
The autobiography will cover his time in both New Order and it's earlier incarnation, Joy Division, and is set to be entitled Chapter and Verse. News of the release comes after it was was announced that New Order are set to record a new album for release sometime in 2015.
The upcoming album will be the first by the band to not feature bassist Peter Hook, who split acrimoniously from the band in 2007, leaving their last album (2013's Lost Sirens) to be mainly comprised of already-completed sessions featuring Hook.
