Biography
Iggy Pop, (born James Newell Osterberg, Jr. on April 21, 1947) is an American
songwriter, and occasional actor. He is considered an influential innovator of
punk rock, hard rock, and other related styles. He is sometimes referred to by
the nickname "the Iguana", and is widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic
stage performers of all time. Pop began calling himself Iggy after his first
band in high school, The Iguanas.
Iggy Pop was the lead singer of The Stooges, a late 1960s/early 1970s rock band
who were influential in the development of the nascent hard rock and punk rock
genres. The Stooges became infamous for their live performances, during which it
was not uncommon for Pop (who traditionally performs bare-chested) to
self-mutilate, verbally abuse the audience, expose himself and leap off the
stage (the first or among the first to stage dive). The Stooges were
unsuccessfully nominated seven times to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before it
was announced they will be inducted as part of the class of 2010.
