Shirtless iggy pop, 78, wheeled off the stage in a coffin during shocking farewell concert

Iggy Pop has left the building. The rock legend, 78, ended his farewell concert in Manchester, England, on Saturday by climbing into a coffin and being wheeled off the stage. Iggy performed

shirtless at the O2 Victoria Warehouse. After singing his final song, he got into the casket while wearing black pants and shoes. The musician shared a clip of the shocking moment on his

Instagram, writing, “LONDON We know how it started and this is how it ended. Would love to see some splendid and witty captions for this one!” EXPLORE MORE While sharing the video on X

(formerly Twitter), Iggy wrote, “London was a hoot! How you exit is equally important to how you enter.” In the comments of a TikTok clip, fans reacted to Iggy’s dramatic exit from the

stage. “I’d expect nothing less of Iggy Pop,” one fan wrote. “What a legend, he’s one of the last ones left,” another fan said. “That’s one unforgettable farewell! Iggy Pop always knows how

to make a statement,” someone else wrote. A fourth fan commented, “What a wild and unforgettable way to end a concert! Only Iggy Pop could pull something like this off.” Iggy (whose real

name is James Newell Osterberg Jr.) is on his Lust For Life Tour. His next show is in Glasgow on Wednesday. Last month, Iggy was asked if he’s considering retirement as he approaches 60

years in the music industry. “The central job has a lot to do with beating on things, strumming things, waving your arms about, and opening your mouth to yell or talk or sing a melody. And I

 enjoy those things,” he told Rolling Stone. “I think there are days where I think, ‘Oh, I’d like to be by the sea with my feet up,’ of which I do at least a few times every year, but to

actually shut down the part of you that needs to compete, that needs to move forward and just imagine that you’re going to enjoy [that]? I don’t think so,” he continued. “I don’t think that

works.” The “Godfather of Punk” added: “Sometimes I think, well, maybe I could be one of these guys that just takes lots of mega vitamins and does push-ups when he’s 92 or something, to see

how long I could live, but I don’t think I could do that either. So I’m just somebody who’s lucky that I found something to do when I was a preteen and I can still do it.” Iggy rose to fame

as a member of the Stooges in the 1960s. As a solo artist, he’s released 19 studio albums since 1977. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
