Joy Division members' pleas for Curtis headstone

Former Joy Division members Peter Hook and Stephen Morris have responded to the theft of Ian Curtis's headstone from Macclesfield Cemetery.

Former members of Joy Division have been talking about that previously reported theft of late vocalist Ian Curtis' headstone from Macclesfield Cemetery last week.

Bassist Peter Hook told Xfm: "I must admit that in my life I've been to Ian's stone a lot. It's somewhere, especially with the effect it had on me after what we did, it's somewhere that I go for a moment of quiet reflection just to give the guy a nod".

Drummer Stephen Morris told NME: "I just don't understand why anyone would do it. You couldn't sell it on eBay - it's ridiculous and very upsetting. I'm speechless. It really is not a very nice thing at all".
