Rapper Aitch has apologised after a mural of late Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis was painted over with an advert for his forthcoming debut album, saying he will fix the situation “pronto.”
The wall painting on Port Street in his home city of Manchester’s Northern Quarter was unveiled in 2020 by street artist Akse P19. Late on Tuesday, Aitch shared a photo on Twitter of the image being covered over with the visuals for Close to Home, which is due out on Friday.
The 22-year-old tweeted: “It’s come to light that the iconic Ian Curtis mural on Port Street has been painted over with my album artwork. This is the first time I’ve heard of this, me and my team are getting this fixed pronto.
