Key Points:
- Peter Hook will attend New Order’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction but refuses to perform or stand with the band unless he receives an apology from Bernard Sumner and other members.
- Hook left New Order in 2007, and relations have been strained ever since, with no communication between Hook and Sumner for nearly 15 years.

- It remains uncertain if the current New Order lineup will attend the ceremony, which Hook acknowledged could make for a "tricky evening," but he expressed a willingness to face such challenges.
