Joe Strummer of The Clash

Joe Strummer of The Clash, who died more than 10 years ago due to an undiagnosed heart defect, is to be honored with a square in the Spanish city of Granada named after him. A Facebook petition to name a square in the city after Strummer was approved by officials this week; the square will now be called Plaza Joe Strummer.

The Guardian quoted city hall spokeswoman María José Anguita as saying, “A square has been identified and now the proposal has to be approved by the committee of honours and distinctions. There was a popular petition for this to happen and the city hall accepted it.”
