Ian Kevin Curtis (15 July 1956 – 18 May 1980) was an English musician and singer-songwriter. He is best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the post-punk band Joy Division. Joy Division released their debut album, Unknown Pleasures, in 1979 and recorded their follow-up, Closer, in 1980.
Curtis, who suffered from epilepsy and depression, committed suicide on 18 May 1980, on the eve of Joy Division's first North American tour, resulting in the band's dissolution and the subsequent formation of New Order. Curtis was known for his bass-baritone voice, dance style, and songwriting filled with imagery of desolation, emptiness and alienation.
In 1995, Curtis's widow Deborah published Touching from a Distance: Ian Curtis and Joy Division, a biography of the singer. His life and death have been dramatised in the films 24 Hour Party People (2002) and Control (2007).
Curtis was born at the Memorial Hospital in Stretford, Lancashire. He grew up in Macclesfield in Cheshire, and from an early age he exhibited talent as a poet. He was awarded a scholarship at the age of 11 by the King's School, Macclesfield. Despite this, he was not a dedicated pupil and did not further his education beyond O-level.

Ian Curtis-Ceremony
The Cure, live version of The Holy Hour dedicated to Ian Curtis from joy division, who committed suicide. So Fuchsia sits, And watches someone's play, And all the days break round her head. [Go?] [?] away. All around her head, The children move and sing, Oh Fuchsia let me hold you, Fuchsia let me hold you. And so no-one cares, Just a sea of happy faces, All around [the] entertainment goes by. And I look, And I see everything standing, And nothing changes, And nothing changes. It's all die, You just die, You just die, You just die.
Joy Division was an English rock band that formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester. With their dark, cavernous sound and use of synthesizers and electronics, they pioneered the post-punk sound of the late 1970s and the early 1980s. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. The remaining members reformed as New Order and went on to achieve much critical and commercial success.

From Autobiography.
Tony: "I don't get it, Ian. I don't get why you're doing this to yourself." Ian: "It's all coming apart..." Tony: "No, it's all coming together. Tonight was great! It'll go down in history! You remember Lou Reed at the Free Trade Hall ?" Ian: "The riot ?" Tony: "That's right. The fucking riot! Best gig I've ever been to" Ian: "It used to be so simple. Now everyone hates me. I've made everyone hate me" Tony: "No one hates you!" Ian: "Even the people who loved me, hate me." Tony: "Debbie ?" Ian: "And Natalie." Tony: "How can Natalie hate you ?" Ian: "She will. I know she will" Tony: "You're a good daddy, Ian." Ian: "No, Tony, I'm not. I know I'm not. If I was a good dad, then, I won't be doing all ... this" Tony: "But what about Annik ?

A profile of Ian Curtis, the enigmatic singer of Joy Division whose personal, professional, and romantic troubles led him to commit suicide at the age of 23.
http://easythai.ru/bangkwang-central-prison/ Dubbed the “Bangkok Hilton” by the West, Thailand’s Bangkwang jail is one of the most notorious prisons in the world. Until now, the reality of life in Bangkwang has remained a secret. But after two years of negotiations between the BBC and Thai officials – and for the first time ever – television cameras were allowed inside.The film tells the human stories of prisoners struggling to stay sane in the jail’s cramped conditions, and the Thai staff struggling to cope with the ever-increasing number of inmates. The Real Bangkok Hilton brought in incredible audiences for the BBC, with an average of some 5 million people tuning in to the program for the premier, double the usual audience figures for the series.

We listened to the open sound your voice projected on the radio dial
Lie with me I said and lying's what she always did and always will.
All these thoughts keep leading back to him.
And no signs from Cinema.
No city skyline.
No paper scraps and no unfolding at five o' clock
Your voice skips as it always did and always will
All these thoughts keep leading back
It's the light from your sunless room
Scattered in pieces all around you.
Recession of these thoughtless forms
Reciting every line as a way of life and a way of death in time
We heard Ian Curtis kill himself again in your bed.
In these 24 hours we stretched into a room filled with "Heart and Soul."
This is the way.
Step inside and march in the procession of empty hearts.
Love has torn us apart.
