CNN
It has been 42 years since Ian Curtis, the lead singer of the legendary post-punk rock band Joy Division, took his own life.
After battling epilepsy and depression, Curtis died on May 18, 1980. He was just 23 years old.
In the years since his death, Curtis' bandmates Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris have sought to pay tribute to his life, both through the music of New Order -- the later reincarnation of their band -- and now by raising awareness about suicide prevention.
