Paris police recently discovered a bust of Jim Morrison, stolen in 1988 from his grave at Pere-Lachaise cemetery. The bust, created in 1981, was part of a tribute for the 10th anniversary of Morrison's death. Its recovery was a result of an unrelated financial investigation. While fans hope for its return to the grave, discussions about the potential impact on cemetery crowds and future investigations remain unexplored. Morrison, iconic for hits like "Light My Fire," died at the young age of 27, and his grave continues to be a cultural pilgrimage site.
There was no immediate word on whether the bust would be returned to the grave or what other investigation might take place.
The 300-pound bust made by Croatian sculptor Mladen Mikulin was added to the grave in 1981 for the 10th anniversary of the singer's death.
Fans across Europe gathered at the grave of rock legend Jim Morrison to mark the 50th anniversary of his death.
I think it would be incredible if they put the bust back onto where it was and it would attract so many more people.
