Why does she even have statue?
Probably for the same reason that there's a statue of Robocop going up in Detroit (eventually! this year, we swear!): cities like to erect monuments to local pop culture icons because it promotes tourism.
So what they are trying so say is that being mid singer and overdosing drugs make her a local culture icon? I could believe that, it's England after all.
being mid singer and overdosing drugs make her a local culture icon?
Being famous made her a local culture icon. Dying to an eating disorder and alcohol addiction isn't really relevant.
Western moment
And this one
because she was a beloved cultural icon who lived in the area? really not uncommon.
Because the Jewish religion clearly states that everyone should have a statue made out of them when they die and that if anyone even moderately desecrates any such, shall we say, grave image, we should treat that as just as bad as committing violence on an actual living human.
