Synopsis
Iggy Pop's life has been one of extraordinary highs and terrifying lows. Infamous for his wild ways, he is also a towering figure of the rock scene - hugely influential, charismatic and provocative. His seminal albumn LUST FOR LIFE, produced by David Bowie, is as popular today as it ever was, and its title track became the signature tune of the movie TRAINSPOTTING. At the age of 60, and unlike many of his peers, Iggy is as relevant and iconic as ever. But Iggy Pop is, to a large extent, a construct, the alter ego of the quietly spoken and intriguing Jim Osterberg. What turned the straight-A student into a tearaway, a rock god, a junkie, and a poster child for rock-and-roll debauchery? Astonishingly, Iggy Pop has never had the serious biography his life and work deserves. Paul Trynka - ex-editor of Mojo - is perfectly placed to write the definitive Iggy biography. He has interviewed Iggy on several occasions, and has also done impeccable research on Iggy's life, tracking down friends, family, lovers and fellow musicians. The result is an honest and indepth portrait of a true rock-and-roll legend.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Iggy Pop's life has been one of extraordinary highs and terrifying lows. Infamous for his wild ways, he is also a towering figure of the rock scene - hugely influential, charismatic and provocative. Every mad, bad, dangerous to know' rock star owes a debt to him, and the stories of his shocking behaviour are legendary. But Iggy Pop is also, to a large extent, a construct, the alter ego of the quietly spoken and intriguing Jim Osterberg: the kid voted Most Likely to Succeed' by his classmates. So what turned this charming, well-mannered, straight-A student into a poster child for rock 'n' roll debauchery? Iggy Pop: Open up and Bleed reveals the truth behind the myths. Former MOJO editor Paul Trynka tracked down the star's friends, family, lovers and fellow musicians, conducting over two hundred and fifty interviews, unearthing countless new stories about Iggy's rollercoaster life, his music and his often misunderstood friendship with David Bowie. From this impeccable research he creates a fascinating portrait of a man at war with the world and with himself. The book also features dozens of never-before seen photos. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR001817852
