Paris, Jul 2 (EFE) .- (Camera: Martí Rodríguez) Jim Morrison, musician, poet and one of the main references of rock, died fifty years ago in Paris and since then he has become a perfect myth, a figure created in good part to the influence of the cinema.The anniversary is tomorrow, Saturday. Morrison died at the age of 27 in an apartment in the then bohemian district of the Marais, in Paris, where he had moved to try to leave his alcoholism behind and breathe in the artistic spirit of the city.FOOTAGE OF THE PÈRE LACHAISE CEMETERY, WHERE THE TOMB OF JIM MORRISON IS LOCATED, AND OF THE HOUSE AND THE STREET WHERE HE LIVED, ON 17-19, RUE BEAUTREILLIS, PARIS. SOUNDBITES FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE PARIS CEMETERIES SERVICE, SYLVAIN ECOLE AND BRUNO GACON, VISITOR TO THE MORRISON CEMETERY AND FAN.ECOLE"It is a grave that does not cause more problems than others. Indeed, it attracts a lot of people, but it does not pose more security problems than other graves in the cemetery.""Yes, there is indeed a device to prevent people from getting too close to the grave, taking into account the number of people who come. That is why there is a fence to preserve the place and for people to stand around the grave "."Indeed, that it is one of the most visited cemeteries in the world is a source of pride but at the same time it is a matter of concern. Under normal circumstances, the Père Lachaise cemetery is visited by three million tourists a year.""The recommendation for the ceremony on Saturday is that there be respect for the place, for Jim Morrison's grave and also for all those around him. (In reference to the people who come to the cemetery on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of singer) ".GACON"I come to Paris a lot because I really like the city, the music, The Doors and, of course, Jim Morrison.""I come every year. Twice, compulsory. On July 3, the date of Jim Morrison's death, and on December 8, the date of his birth. And then every month and a half or two months, if I'm in Paris, too I come".
