“He broke every bone in his body and now this is how he gets on stage”. Some say it was because of his life of excess, while others know the story behind Iggy Pop

Photos of Iggy Pop on stage went viral — and the comments split in two. 😤 Some said “he had destroyed himself with excess”. Others came out to defend the Godfather of Punk with the facts in hand.

What many people don’t know: Iggy contracted polio in childhood, which left him with one leg shorter than the other and a permanent limp. On top of that, he also had scoliosis, which affected his spine for life.

That body people criticize carried all of that — and even so filled stages for decades. 🎤

Do you admire him for still standing, or do you think there’s a point when the body takes over? 👇
