The incident took place in Montreal, where the singer and his band, The Stooges, had performed a concert.
According to the star’s manager, the theft occurred following the show. A truck full of the band’s equipment, including rare and one-of-a kind instruments, was parked outside of a hotel while the band members slept. The equipment stolen was worth tens of thousands of dollars.
The 61-year-old veteran rocker and his band are in the middle of a world tour. They will travel to Europe at the end of the month to continue their shows.
Despite the theft, Iggy Pop will perform tomorrow in Toronto, and will play with rented or borrowed equipment.
