The missing gravestone bust of Jim Morrison, frontman of The Doors, has been recovered by French police. The iconic, heavily graffitied piece, designed by Croatian sculptor Mladen Mikulin and installed in 1981 to mark the 10th anniversary of Morrison's death, went missing in 1988 and hasn't been seen for the best part of four decades.

"After 37 years of absence, the bust of Jim Morrison, stolen in 1988 from the Père Lachaise cemetery, has been found!" wrote the Judicial Police Directorate of the Paris Police Prefecture in an Instagram post.
