Iggy Pop will appear on 'Austin City Limits' for the first time this weekend, even as a triple-vinyl version 'Live at the Royal Albert Hall' is being prepared.
The music world is mourning the death of legendary Stooges drummer Scott Asheton, and perhaps no one more so than his longtime musical partner and Stooges frontman Iggy Pop. The iconic rocker, who revealed Asheton's death over the weekend, took the time to reflect on his history with Asheton and his plans moving forward in an open letter penned at RollingStone.com.
Iggy and the Stooges came, they saw and they conquered Austin's South by Southwest Wednesday night (March 13). The band, who are currently ramping up to the release of their 'Ready to Die' album, played both new songs and classics at Austin's Mohawk club.
The Hollywood Reporter says The Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins has been cast to portray punk legend Iggy Pop in an upcoming film based on the famous New York City club CBGB.
