Deryck Whibley has been able to stay sober thanks to the help of a few classic rockers.

The legendary Iggy Pop is stepping behind a microphone of a different sort as he will host a music show on the BBC. Beginning March 9, Iggy can be heard Sundays from 4 to 6pm (UK time) on BBC 6. He is taking over the time slot previously hosted by Pulp singer Jarvis Cocker.

A T-shirt for sale online that pays tribute to the recently departed Lou Reed is grabbing a whole lotta attention for the wrong reasons. It's not the legendary Velvet Underground frontman's photo that's sandwiched between the words "Lou Reed" and "1942-2013."

When the producers of ABC's 'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland' found themselves without the services of Who vocalist Roger Daltrey for an upcoming episode of the show, they turned to another rock legend who likes to leave his shirt unbuttoned: Iggy Pop.

The Iggy and the Stooges album 'Raw Power' turns 40 this month, and the group is also planning a new release. Iggy Pop, James Williamson and Scott Asheton have united to record 'Ready to Die,' their second album featuring the surviving members of that lineup. (2007's 'The Weirdness' featured the surviving members of the Ron Asheton-fronted Stooges lineup.)

In the inevitable juxtaposition of punk rock and toy collectibles, Drastic Plastic Collectibles have teamed up with Impact Merchandising to announce the release of a new Iggy Pop bobblehead.

Iggy Pop has never been much of a shy wallflower, and as an ambassador for Record Store Day 2012, he didn’t hold back when talking about today’s music — and the people who perform it.
