tried to run, tried to hide. Break on through to the other side. Break on through to the other side. Little did Jim Morrison know that his lyrics of Break on Through was heard in this clip. They take on a whole other meeting of a break-in in the night that led to a breakthrough by police. On May 19th, Paris’s anti-fraud department posted on social media that while working on another case, they’d found something out of the ordinary. A tease that then revealed in the following slide the long lost sculpted bust from Jim Morrison’s grave. With its nose still broken off and still coated in graffiti from doors dieards. The statue has been missing since 1988 when it was stolen from the Paris Peril Cemetery. For indeed people are strange. Some nab things from cemeteries. It was a mega fan of the doors who came to Perilles one night, broke off the bust and then attached it to a moped scooter and sped through the cemetery at the crazy speed of 70 km per hour. It was completely out of this world. Oh, sculpted by the Croatian artist Muladen Mikolin. The bust was affixed to the singer’s grave on the 10th anniversary of his death, which occurred in Paris on July 3rd, 1971 when the rock star was just 27. The grave with and without the bust has become a beloved tourist stop. A hello, I love you place for devoted fans. Pa says the world’s most visited cemetery now has added security. And for flocking fans, the resolved mystery was a light my fire moment. It’s incredible this story of finding it again so many years later. French officials have not yet announced whether the bus will be returned to Morrison’s grave or whether this is the end of a 37year-old
