Iggy Pop’s rock music career is a rock-and-roll survival story like no other. From his early days as the frontman of The Stooges, earning the title of ‘Godfather of Punk,’ to his tumultuous rise and fall, Pop’s journey through the music world has been nothing short of extraordinary.
In the early 1970s, The Stooges’ raw energy and boundary-pushing albums like Fun House and Raw Power established Pop as a force to be reckoned with in rock music. However, the band’s chaotic demise seemed to signal the end of Pop’s career. But like a cockroach surviving a nuclear blast, Pop refused to be extinguished. He reinvented himself in Berlin, collaborating with David Bowie to release The Idiot and Lust for Life, albums that marked the birth of a post-punk revival and solidified his place as an icon.
Today, Iggy Pop enjoys the role of elder statesman, sharing his vast wealth of knowledge and music, continuing to shape the world of rock long after the chaos of his early years.
