Iggy Pop does Paris

A living legend, rock iguana and godfather of punk, Iggy Pop, returns to the stage with the Stooges this summer. One of rock’s best known and loved figures, Iggy Pop has been steeping in the history of rock and punk for nearly 50 years, and at age 63 continues to move with the same explosive power and agility that has made him famous for over four decades.

The biography of James Newell Osterberg is peppered with some of the craziest and most amazing stories of debauchery and psychedelic romps in rock history. Iggy Pop is one of the most famous rock stars of all time. While the sound he developed with his band The Stooges has revolutionized rock and inspired countless punk rock bands, one of the most memorable things about Iggy Pop is his legendary stage presence. His actions have often ended in serious injury, and he was famous for the bacchanalian orgies filled with drugs and groupies, which in 1971 caused the break-up of the group. Luckily, one of his biggest fans, David Bowie, helped Iggy recover from his numerous addictions, return to the stage and keep writing music history.

Here are some curious facts about Iggy Pop

1. In his stage performances the singer sometimes smeared himself with peanut butter.
2. After the second break-up of the group, Iggy was living on the streets of Hollywood for a while.
3. In 1976 he lived for a time in Berlin with his friend David Bowie.
4. In 1997 he wore plastic pants during a concert that left very little to the imagination.
5. He discovered how to perform if he had taken LSD was a lovely idea.
6. Iggy Pop invented the Stage Diving, and in his first attempt he broke all his front teeth.

If you are a fan of the sound of the Stooges and you do not want to lose this chance to see one of the last iconic rock stars who is still standing, rent apartments in Paris and get your tickets for his concert that will take place on July 7th at the Olympia.
