Pop and Bowie moved to Berlin together his the hopes of becoming sober for good. In August 2016, it was also outfitted with a plaque commemorating Bowie’s time there. After his death, the exterior of his apartment was adorned with flowers and other mementos. Bowie is known to have played a key role in Iggy Pops solo career, producing and co-writing his first two solo albums, The Idiot and Lust for Life. In 1972, Bowie confronted Pop about his escalating addictions, which encouraged him to move to London to work on his music career. Iggy was Bowie’s flatmate and was known for making a mess of the apartment and particularly for raiding his fridge. “That was another big thing I learned: Don’t throw stuff away.” and the esoteric and dark soundscapes of Iggys work with the late, great David Bowie and much of The Thin White Dukes Berlin period. He was playing it on the guitar and wanted to know if I could do something with it. It was called ‘Running Scared’ at the time. At 65, Iggy Pop is one of those legends for having seen and survived it all, and hes, remarkably, on tour for hist latest album, Apres. I first heard his 1980 song ‘Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)’ when we were in a house on Sunset Boulevard in 1974. “David was not a person to waste a piece of music: Never waste an idea. I’ll do this thing you should have done.’ And that was very valid… If he saw something in another artist he admired, if they didn’t pick up that ball and run with it, he didn’t have any problem saying, ‘Well, if you’re not going to do it, I will. I first heard the Ramones, Kraftwerk and Tom Waits from him.
