Charles Bronson has changed his name to Charles Salvador in tribute to the late artist.
The high-profile prisoner – who is currently serving a life sentence for robbery and kidnap at Full Sutton Prison in York – wrote a hand-written statement published on his website explaining his decision. The change will be made official via Deed Poll.
“It just happened, just come about, a thought, a vision, a new me,” he wrote.
“The old me dried up.”
“Bronson came alive in 1987. He died in 2014.
"He had a good run. Never beaten. Kept his morals.... Come on, the boy done well. But he's finished. His time stopped ticking.
“It's now Salvador all the way to Disneyland. Your [sic] welcome to join the ride.”
