This day in music history.

May 18, 1980, Joy Division singer Ian Curtis put Iggy Pop's album "The Idiot" on the record player then he hung himself to death. His suicide note read "'At this very moment, I wish I were dead. I Just Can't cope Anymore". He was 23 years old. Joy Division played their last concert just a few weeks before his death, the last song they played at that concert was "Digital". the inscription on Ian's grave stone says " Love Will Tear Us Apart".
Digital by Joy Division
Feel it closing in,
Feel it closing in,
The fear of whom I call,
Every time I call,
I feel it closing in,
I feel it closing in,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out.
I feel it closing in,
As patterns seem to form.
I feel it cold and warm.
The shadows start to fall.
I feel it closing in,
I feel it closing in,
Day in, day out
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out,
Day in, day out.
Id have the world around,
To see just whatever happens,
Stood by the door alone,
And then its fade away.
I see you fade away.
Dont ever fade away.
I need you here today.
Dont ever fade away.
Dont ever fade away....
