The memorial stone at Ian Curtis’ grave, which features the phrase “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” has been stolen from Macclesfield Cemetery in Cheshire, England. For all the biopics, documentaries, re-releases and ancillary merchandise, this is the kind of incident that makes it official: Ian Curtis is the new Jim Morrison. [BBC]
