But now, the 75 year-old singer said in an interview with NME that he won’t jump into the crowd anymore because he is too “rickety” for that nowadays.
Iggy Pop says he won’t stage-dive anymore
“I’ve left the proscenium a few times if the crowds were too dull just to whip ’em up, but mostly I didn’t have to. I won’t do the dives again, I’ve managed to survive it mostly and I’m too rickety for that now,” Iggy Pop said.
