SPL IAN CURTIS MURAL UNVEILED 04.jpg
Finishing touches are added to a mural of music icon Ian Curtis in Macclesfield, where the music icon grew up, in the town centre on 25 March 2022.
The painting has been created by street artist Akse in memory of the Joy Division frontman, who died in 1980. The artwork is based on a photograph by Kevin Cummins and was commissioned by Cheshire East Council who said 'it has pride of place in the town'.
Curtis was brought up in the town and is buried in Macclesfield Cemetery, was the lead singer of Joy Division until his death at the age of 23 in May 1980. The three surviving members of the band resolved to carry on and renamed themselves as New Order.
