🎤 Biography & death

Jim Morrison was the lead singer of The Doors, one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s. Known for his baritone voice and wild stage persona, he became a counterculture icon. Hits include "Light My Fire," "Riders on the Storm," and "The End."

In March 1971, Morrison moved to Paris. On July 3, 1971, he was found dead in his apartment bathtub. No autopsy was performed, leading to decades of speculation. He was buried in a simple grave without a marker for two years. A headstone was added in 1973, and the bronze bust in 1989.
