Bratislava restored the bench Miro Žbirka played on

On the bench is the singer’s signature and part of the lyrics of the song Mesto spi, which is about Bratislava. On November 10, a year has passed since the singer’s death and dozens of people have remembered this sad anniversary on the bench.

Žbirka lived in Bratislava until the 90s, was a member of the bands Modus and Limit, then moved to Prague. “We lived in Bratislava for four years and our daughter Linda was born here. When I come here, I feel like I’m coming home,” Žbirková told TASR news agency.

Bratislava mayor Matúš Vallo stressed that he really likes the fact that Žbirka in the park looks like a simple bench to sit on. And maybe he can play guitar like Meky did. “He is very effective with his signature and text,” said Vallo.
