LONDON (Reuters) - Thieves have stolen a memorial stone for Ian Curtis, frontman of the influential British post-punk band Joy Division.
The stone, bearing the epitaph "Love Will Tear Us Apart" -- the title of the band's most famous song -- was taken from Macclesfield Crematorium in northern England on Monday or Tuesday, police said.
Fans from all over the world would travel to the site to pay their respects, often leaving messages and tokens behind.
…
Local officials have appealed for the stone's return.
"I'm shocked this has happened," said Bill North of Macclesfield Borough Council. "Someone's gone to a great deal of trouble to remove the memorial stone and I hope our appeal will help return it as soon as possible."
Curtis's widow Debbie had been informed, the council said.
"This is a very unusual theft and I am confident that someone locally will have knowledge about who is responsible or where the memorial stone is at present," said police Inspector Gareth Woods.
