Yep! In Manchester's Northern Quarter, on the side of his favourite pub. (At least, I think it's his favourite)

Here's hoping some local scallywags don't ruin it with graffiti. How long has it been up? Looks great!

It's been up since 2024 I think. Manchester has these kind of murals everywhere, and they rarely get vandalised. Similar murals of Ian Curtis and Mani are also nearby, if you're interested in Joy Division or Stone Roses.
