Gravestone of Ian Curtis, singer of the goth-rock/post-punk band Joy Division. Curtis died in 1980, aged just 23. The grave is emblazoned with the title of probably his best-known song, 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'. This gravestone is a replacement . The original was stolen - probably by obsessive fans - in 2008. #music #gothic #postpunk #graveyard #death #history #psychogeography #weird
