New Order embarked on a short US tour in early autumn 1980. In these shows, Sumner, Morris and Hook all sang lead vocals on different tracks. Sumner ultimately took the role of frontman even though he struggled to sing while playing guitar. During this tour, the band recorded two tracks written by Joy Division: ” Ceremony ” and “In a Lonely Place”, which were released as New Order’s debut single in January 1981.
