Iggy Pop went shirtless for his London gig as the hit American singer performed his classic hits to a packed crowd.

The vocalist, 78, is no stranger to stripping off during his shows and he did exactly that at Alexandra Palace on Wednesday night.

Iggy, whose real name is James Osterberg Jr, performed at the iconic venue in a tribute to his long-lasting music career.

During the set, he was snapped with his bare chest out, opting to wear just black chinos with a black belt.

The hitmaker’s impressive slim figure was on show for all to see as he animatedly dominated the stage with a band supporting him from behind.

Iggy appeared to be in good spirits last night, having previously swore at a crowd in Switzerland three years ago during his set

His minimal look was completed with a pair of black boots as Iggy’s distinctive blond hair flowed straight to his shoulders.

Fans were treated to hit songs such as The Pᴀssenger and Lust for Life during the show, as well as new material from his latest album Every Loser.

Joe & The S**boys, who are self-described ‘biSєxual vegans’, supported Iggy and opened the show, with punk duo Bob Vylan also performing.

Iggy appeared to be in good spirits – a far cry from a previous gig – which saw the singer swear at his audience.

The foul-mouthed exchange took place in Venoge Festival in Penthaz, Switzerland back in 2023.

As the spotlight lit up the stage, Iggy could be seen lifting his middle fingers on each hand to the audience.

In 2020, Iggy received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys for his impressive career, which spans decades. 

However, he previously revealed how he was reluctant to accept the honour at first and said he ‘hated’ the Recording Academy as they tried to make contact with him.

Speaking to music outlet Classic Rock, he explained: ‘The Grammys kept wanting to talk to me on the phone.

‘I kept telling my manager, “I don’t want to talk to them. I hate those people. They want me to be an exhibit in their museum or something.”’  

He continued: ‘Then when I finally spoke to the lady from the Grammys a couple of months later she said: “We’re giving you the Lifetime Achievement. Without you, there’s no Lil Nas X and there’s no Billie Eilish.”

‘According to her, “You’re a direct link to the artists that are at the top of our awards list this year.” So that’s what one person had to say, and I’ll take that for what it’s worth.’ 

While Pop had previously been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Stooges in 2010, he said the Grammys were ‘a tougher can of tuna to pry open.’  

He added, ‘I suppose I kind of feel as if the Academy and I met halfway, something like that. It’s sort of like a problem has been eliminated, put it that way … these things have been happening in my career for the last 10 years or so. At first it was almost grim.

‘Like, “Okay, I got there, I got that. It doesn’t make Raw Power any better or any worse.” But after a while I came to appreciate that every person has a point of view. 

It took me a long time to appreciate that a lot of people have points of view that are nothing like mine whatsoever, but I need to respect them. Whereas when I was 25, it was like, “Agree with me or death.”‘
