New Order Announce Gillian Gilbert, Stephen Morris Not Touring
The band said the two members “won’t be touring for the foreseeable future” including an upcoming show in Chile
New Order are heading to Chile for the first time in seven years, but they’ll be playing Primavera Chile without two of their longtime members, the band announced on Monday.
Keyboardist/guitarist Gillian Gilbert and drummer Stephen Morris — who have been married since 1994 — will not be joining the band in Chile or at future shows “for the foreseeable future.”
“New Order are very happy to be playing Primavera in Chile in November marking the band’s first performance there in seven years,” they wrote on Instagram. “Due to personal health reasons, Stephen and Gillian won’t be touring for the foreseeable future and will not be joining for this show.”
The band did not offer further details, but added: “Bernard, Phil and Tom are really sorry that Stephen and Gillian can’t join us this time, but unfortunately the circumstances make it impossible.”
It’s unclear what the health issues are and who will perform in lieu of Gilbert and Morris during their upcoming shows. A rep for New Order did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.
New Order, along with Joy Division will finally be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, after decades of rejection. The ceremony will take place on Nov. 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. It will air on ABC and Disney+ the following month.
