Iggy Pop Flower Power
Punk rocker Iggy Pop will stun his loyal fanbase by supporting the famed British Chelsea Flower Show.The singer will lend his name to a garden created by the charity The Children's Society.He says the garden, which will be called Lust For Life after one of his songs, was "full of optimism as young people should be ... but too many people aren't."The charity adds, "Punk and petunias don't normally mix, but our garden inspired by Iggy Pop is bringing a bit of rock 'n' roll to Chelsea."In total contrast Iggy Pop was recently defending writing songs about his penis insisting it is a "perfectly natural" subject.The Stooges singer had been blasted by critics for penning tracks about his appendage on the band's latest album The Weirdness.But the star is adamant his penis has a place in music.He says, "You write about things of importance to you. And it's gotta be for real. Do I think about my dick? All the time. I got a right (to think) to sing about it.
The Chelsea Flower Show opens on 22 May
