Aitch said he had no control over the location of the Amazon Music billboards and was "fuming" at the decision to paper over the mural. The restoration of the mural precedes World Suicide Prevention Day on Sunday. Manchester's Joy Division produced two studio albums before Curtis' death but they cast a long shadow over British pop music.
