On April 21st, Metallica frontman James Hetfield posted a tribute to rock icon Iggy Pop on his 70th birthday. Check out the clip below.

Iggy Pop recently joined Metallica on stage in Mexico City for a performance of The Stooges classic, “T.V. Eye”. Pro-shot video of the performance can be found below, as well as a backstage photo from Metallica, shot by Ross Halfin.

Iggy Pop opened for Metallica at all three of their shows at Mexico City’s Foro Sol venue.

Iggy Pop is streaming a new single, "Asshole Blues", which debuted via Rolling Stone. It was released on April 21st as part of a flexi-disc series on Jacuzzi Boys' Mag Mag label.

Eagle Rock Entertainment released Iggy Pop’s Post Pop Depression: Live At The Royal Albert Hall on DVD+2CD and Digital Formats on October 28th, 2016. This film captures a critically acclaimed concert that is a much-anticipated release for Iggy Pop fans.

Post Pop Depression: Live At The Royal Albert Hall features tracks primarily from The Idiot, Lust For Life and Post Pop Depression. The Post Pop Depression album, a collaboration with co-writer and producer Joshua Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age, is one of his most critically acclaimed and commercially successful album for many years.

On May 13th, 2016, Iggy Pop brought his Post Pop Depression live show to London’s revered Royal Albert Hall and almost tore the roof off! As reviewed by the Telegraph, “I have been going to gigs for a very long time and that was one of the best I have ever seen.”

With a backing band including Joshua Homme, Dean Fertita, and Troy Van Leeuwen from Queens Of The Stone Age, Matt Helders from the Arctic Monkeys, and guitarist Matt Sweeney, Iggy delivered a set focused almost entirely on the new album plus his two classic David Bowie collaboration albums from 1977, The Idiot and Lust For Life.
