Ian Curtis' kitchen table has sold on eBay for £8, 400 - after over 65 bids were made on the slightly macabre piece of furniture.
The table, which was in the same room as late Joy Division frontman Curtis when he hung himself, was put on eBay last week, with documentation confirming the authentication of the object from Ian's widow, Deborah, and his daughter, Natalie. However, it seems whilst the Curtis family did indeed legitamise the authenticity of the table, they did not do it so it could be auctioned off.

The Curtis family were then quick to voice their disapproval of the selling of the item, with former Joy Division members Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris lending their support by releasing a statement to the NME condemning the auction, calling it "distasteful and upsetting".
