What do you think would happen if Peter Hook died in 1987 (probably from overdose) just as New Order was about to release Substance. This would certainly lead to the disbandment of New Order (similar to what happened to Joy Division) but it would also affect British Dance music/Alternative Rock particularly if the Hacienda is closed down (it was supported by the money New Order generated from record sales).
Factory Records probably won't last since it was managed very poorly particularly with money. Maybe Madchester and the results of it won't happen. Maybe other places in Britain will become big for music like Sheffield, Nottingham, Birmingham (which had there own music scenes at the time that were big). Also I think the surviving members (Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert) will carry on making music like they did in OTL (Bernard Sumner in Electronic and Gillian Gilbert & Stephen Morris in the Other Two).
Does anyone have any other ideas, points etc.
