Rapper Aitch has said he had no idea the iconic Ian Curtis mural in the Northern Quarter would be painted over with his album artwork.
People were left outraged as the Manchester Evening News reported yesterday that the black-and-white wall painting of the Stretford Joy Division frontman, on Port Street in the city centre, had been painted over with an advert. The name 'Aitch' had been painted in white over the stunning artwork, which was created by street and graffiti artist Akse in 2020.
Moston-born Aitch has now said that he and his team will get the mural fixed. He added that he would 'not want to disrespect a local hero like Ian'.
