Presentation :
Iggy Pop (James Newell Osterberg Jr) was born on April 21, 1947 in the state of Michigan (United States). He is considered one of the most influential rock artists. First a drummer for the group Iguanas from 1963 to 1965 (hence the nickname Iggy) he became leader and singer of the Stooges created in 1967 with whom he will perform until 1974 and also from 2003 to 2016.Known for playing shirtless on stage, inspired by Morrison, provocative and making a strong impression on his audience, Iggy Pop is also nicknamed The Godfather of Punk. He never hesitated to show off naked, slash himself, spread peanut butter on his body, even puke on his audience. He popularized a unique style: stage diving, which consists of throwing oneself into the public and be carried away by the crowd. His hard and violent music sounds like the garages of Detroit, the Motor City.Drugs and conflicts were reasons for the dismantling of the Stooges. Several times, David Bowie will help Iggy and his group to get back on track. His best-known songs with the Stooges are I Wanna Be Your Dog and Search and Destroy. In solo, several songs became hits, most of them because of the help from David Bowie, among which Nightclubbing, Lust for Life, The Passenger, I'm Bored, Real Wild Child or Candy, a duet with Kate Pierson.
