Joy Division’s Ian Curtis Headstone Stolen
Peter Hook, former Joy Division bassist is pissed that Ian Curtis’ headstone has been stolen. Hook was making regular visits to Curtis’ grave in Macclesfield, England, since he committed suicide in 1980, according to Female First. He revealed:
“I must admit that in my life I’ve been to Ian’s stone a lot. It’s somewhere, especially with the effect it had on me after what we did, it’s somewhere that I go for a moment of quiet reflection just to give the guy a nod.”
Drummer Stephen Morris has requested for the return of Ian’s headstone:
“I just don’t understand why anyone would do it. You couldn’t sell it on eBay - it’s ridiculous and very upsetting. I’m speechless. It really is not a very nice thing at all”.
Apparently, the theft took place last week and police are investigating.
How sad that anyone would steal a headstone! I wonder if the thieves even knew it belonged to a beloved musician.
