Bring Me The Headstone of Ian Curtis

Last year Control was filmed on our street as Ian Curtis lived and died opposite our house, and it was used in the film. Great film it was too. I’d half expected to see Japanese tourists filing past the famed house, or maybe a blue plaque. I mean, Paul Young has a blue plaque outside the house where he used to live. But no, it’s just a small, innocuous terrace hidden away near Macc town centre.

Sadly, Ian’s grave hasn’t been left in such peace. As reported in the Machester Evening News, some sick, sad pillock has nicked his headstone!

Very. Sad.
