This striking black and white image of the late Ian Curtis was unveiled on the side of a building on Port Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter in time for World Mental Health Day (11 October). The musician, who was the lead singer and lyricist of the post-punk band Joy Division, struggled with depression and took his own life in 1980, aged just 23.

The mural was created by celebrated Manchester-based street artist Akse_P19 who is noted for his photo-realistic portraits of celebrities. It is based on the iconic photo Link of Curtis performing in Brussels in 1979, taken by acclaimed Belgian photographer Philippe Carly. The artwork was commissioned to mark the start of Manchester music and mental wellbeing festival Headstock.
