After the suicide of lead vocalist Ian Curtis in May 1980, Joy Division formally disbanded. Several months the remaining members reunited as "New Order." While technically two separate bands, Joy Division and New Order, both were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one act, "Joy Division/New Order", in 2026.
