Readers of the Manchester Evening News have pointed out that the newspaper has failed to use a correct photograph of singer Denise Johnson in a printed tribute piece.
Denise Johnson, whose voice filled Manchester’s dancefloors throughout the 80s and early 90s, passed away this week aged 56.
Johnson was brought up by her Jamaican mother in the Hulme Crescents estate in Manchester in the 1960s, and went on to share her incredible singing voice with many other legendary artists.
Throughout her career, she sang alongside George Clinton with Primal Scream on MTV and also sang with New Order and Johnny Marr.
Speaking to The Guardian, Marr described Denise as “a class singer and a class person… a real no-nonsense Mancunian woman.”
Despite her fame and significance to the city of Manchester’s musical past, the city’s newspaper, Manchester Evening News, has come under heavy fire on social media for using the wrong photograph in a tribute.
