Anyone still recovering from the news that Peter Hook is about to cover Joy Division’s Closer in its entirety should brace themselves for this.

But the song has been recorded for the Comic Relief charity, so it’s all in a good cause and perhaps not a hint of any future recording projects by the singer. Check it out in the clip above.
