New Order has announced that longtime members Gillian Gilbert and Stephen Morris will not join the band on tour for the foreseeable future due to personal health reasons.
The Manchester band shared the news on social media on June 29. They confirmed they will perform at the Primavera Chile festival in November without Gilbert and Morris, marking the group's first show in the country in seven years.
“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 stated. Bernard Sumner, Phil Cunningham and Tom Chapman expressed regret over the absence.
The group did not provide details on the health issues or name replacements for upcoming dates. New Order and Joy Division are also set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 14 in Los Angeles.
