That's tragic, he'd been looking really well (considering his history!).

Well if you can say that a guy who had a fetish for wearing Nazi uniforms and collecting Nazi memorabilia, was the 'good guy' doesn't say much for the rest of the band Don't stop me from loving the Stooges though.

I don't think he was sad or lonely. The Stooges have been touring a lot recently to back up a new studio album a year or two ago. I saw them at the Royal Albert Hall a year (or so) ago and they were on fine form.

RIP. Raw Power is class!

PS has anyone seen Iggy Pop's advert for insurance or whatever it is, on the TV? WTF

Indeed, what was that insurance company thinking of? Not many people are even going to know who it is, so they'll just think it's some half-naked nutter spouting rubbish.

[Musky]

Holy sh*te.

I'm gutted as well, and for some strange reason a little shocked...

Just because he collected this does not make him a nazi,its just an interesting period of history.

Sad news indeed...

[Bass_In_Yer_Face]

Not really a huge fan of the Stooges tbh but the influence they had on all that followed is undeniable
