this gravestone is no more. after going to macclesfield two years ago, i am very happy to say that i was able to visit before some idiot decided to add up all of their goth points and steal something that clearly did not belong to them. just like you polly, this news was very sad to me as well.
Ian Curtis' Gravestone Stolen
Sad news of a slightly different sort coming out of the Joy Division fold: The BBC reports that the gravestone marking the grave of Ian Curtis, the late frontman for the legendary mope-rockers, has been stolen.
According to the BBC, at some point between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, thieves removed the stone from its perch at the Macclesfield Cemetery in Curtis' hometown of Macclesfield, England. Authorities currently have no leads as to the whereabouts of the stone, which bears the inscriptions "Ian Curtis 18 - 5 - 80" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart".
