New Order Updates
Aside from being one of the most legendary bands in the United Kingdom, the band is also known for having a kind heart as they recently dropped a t-shirt line to support the mental health group, CALM.
Inspired by "Blue Monday," designers Peter Saville based the merchandise's design on the group's song of the same name, originally released in 1983.
For every purchase, all proceeds will directly go to Campaign Against Living Miserably. For fans who wanted to get their hands on the said product, the t-shirt is available to pre-order until February 17.
New Order issued a statement regarding the collaboration with CALM, saying they are proud to be ambassadors for the group and honored to be using their old song to "help raise awareness for the brilliant work they do to support millions of people struggling with their mental health."
This isn't the first time the band made a big move about mental health. Last year, Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris discussed mental health and suicide prevention in Parliament amid Ian Curtis' 42nd death anniversary.
Curtis, who died at the age of 23, passed away on May 18, 1980.
