Iggy Pop confirmed a new Iggy & the Stooges album, Ready To Die, will be released on April 30th. James Williamson has returned to the Stooges, which gives fans even more reason to be excited about the release!
Iggy also filmed a couple of short videos for Ready To Die - one of the videos is a trailer for the record, and the other is a short interview with Iggy, who took the opportunity to slam Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins:
"...A real fucking group when they're an older group, they also make fucking records, they don't just go and twiddle around on stage to make a bunch of fucking money...it's not the fucking Smashing Pumpkins we've got the bald guy and whoever...the Stooges are a real group..."
So far no comment from Billy Corgan, but you know it's only a matter of time. At any rate, watch both videos from Iggy and the Stooges below:
