"Love Will Tear Us Apart" was released as a single by Joy Division in April 1980, and became the first single by the band to make the UK Charts, reaching No.13 in June 1980.
Joy Division reformed into New Order after Ian's death, and Ian's wife, Deborah Curtis had the phrase's "Ian Curtis 18 - 5 - 80" & "Love Will Tear Us Apart" inscribed on his gravestone.
The song, to this day, has still remained popular with old and new alike, and was recently listed by NME Magazine as the best single of all time.
