French Police Recover Bust From Jim Morrison’s Grave, 37 Years After It Was Stolen
Close to four decades after it was lifted from the grave site of Jim Morrison, a bust of his likeness has been recovered by French police.
The sculpture, created by Croatian artist Mladen Mikulin, was placed on Morrison’s grave in Paris’ Père Lachaise Cemetery to mark the tenth anniversary of his passing, on July 3, 1981. After years of rumor and innuendo surrounding its fate, Parisian police have now announced the bust has been recovered, with its rediscovery occurring during a search related to a fraud case. Their self-titled 1967 debut peaked atop the Billboard 200 and spawned the Hot 100-topping single “Light My Fire,” with every one of their albums released during Morrison’s lifetime reached the top ten.
