Iggy Pop releasing 'quieter' album
Godfather of punk Iggy Pop is releasing ``a quieter album'' in May, which targets French-speakers and was inspired by novelist Michel Houellebecq's The Possibility Of An Island.
Punk music pioneer Iggy Pop - famous for onstage mayhem like smearing his sinewy torso with olive oil and diving headfirst into crowds - is mellowing in old age with a solo album of crooning classic covers, half of them in French.
