Swiftcover’s Iggy Pop to honoured

September 16th, 2009

Punk icon Iggy Pop is to collect a living legend award at the Marshall Classic Rock Roll of Honour awards on the 2nd November.

The awards will take place in London and Mr Pop is over the moon about it:

“All those years of banging away in the dives and palaces of the weird universe of rock are finally adding up to something,” he said.

And he is in good company. There have been four previous winners: Ozzy Osbourne in 2008, Jimmy Page 2007, Alice Cooper 2006 and Lemmy 2005.

Well known Iggy songs include Lust For Life, Real Wild Child and The Passenger. Iggy is also fronting the adverts for online car insurance company swiftcover.com, increasing year on year sales by more than 31% in the first quarter of 2009.
