Stephen Morris (born Stephen Paul David Morris, 28 October 1957 in Macclesfield , Cheshire , England ) was a Musician in the Manchester based Rock Band New Order . Although he is primarily a Percussionist , he also plays Keyboards . He also Drummed in the Band from which New Order was formed, Joy Division , and in The Other Two , a band made up of Morris and his wife, Gillian Gilbert . (He attended the same school in Macclesfield as Joy Division Vocalist Ian Curtis and was expelled for abusing Cough Syrup ). Early on, Morris was a strong contender to become New Order's lead vocalist, and his voice can be heard on some early tracks (especially live versions). He also contributed musically to as-yet-unreleased demos by fellow Mancunians Quando Quango . Something of an eccentric, Morris has been called "daft as a brush" by bandmate Peter Hook . Morris reportedly used some of his fortune to purchase several Military Vehicle s. He and Gilbert live in Rainow , outside Macclesfield. They formed together the side-project The Other Two . They have together two daughters, one called Grace, the other Mathilde. One of their daughters has a degenerative illness which forces Gillian to stay home and not tour with the band since 2001.
