Iggy Pop has a death wish.


The Inertia

Punk icon Iggy Pop, 66, has his fingers crossed for death by shark attack. The rocker wants to die quick, fast and in a hurry.

He recently stated, “I seriously do not want to go into assisted living or a nursing home, so I’m hoping for a shark attack. That would be good.” In a statement to Playboy Magazine, Iggy also mentioned, “I have a beach house in the Cayman Islands, where there are sharks. When I go swimming I think, ‘Boy, a shark attack would solve a lot of problems.'” What those problems are is anyone’s guess, but it seems he doesn’t envision his life lasting much longer.

While some may not share his sentiments about a shark attack being the preferred vehicle of death, rotting in a nursing home doesn’t sound too appealing either. We hope Iggy lives a long and even more fruitful life and when he goes, it’s with the least possible suffering, whichever way that may be.
