About the Book

The definitive biography of one of rock's most extraordinary legends 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 album 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.

About the Author :
Paul Trynka is a music journalist and the former editor of Mojo. He lives in South London.

Review :
With its recurring themes of drug addiction, public masochism and self-sabotage, Iggy s story effectively tells itself, but Trynka captures the essential duality of a man as well-versed in Greek art as he is in panhandling for heroin on Sunset Boulevard . . . [an] entertaining and insightful study of one of rock s most enduringly remarkable characters Q Iggy Pop has all the rock n roll bases covered: drugs, long hair, funny body, formerly straight-A student. Lie back and think of California TATLER Former MOJO editor Paul Trynka has put in impeccable research to tell the story of how the shy, studious Jim Osterberg transformed into the force of nature that is Iggy Pop IRISH EVENING HERALD For those who like their rock biogs thick with tales of heroic over-indulgence, OPEN UP AND BLEED is hard to beat ' SUNDAY TIMES Compelling. Trynka paints an artful portrait of a rock star who is decadent right through to his sweet, Midwestern heart OBSERVER 'Incorporates just about every depravity you could wish for in a rock biography: indecent exposure, under-age sex, self-mutilation, psychiatric disorder, drug abuse, infidelity, betrayal, violence, death and David Bowie . . . When you strip away all the nonsense, Iggy is a pro. Trynka too GUARDIAN
