NEW YORK, June 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Grey, the
global advertising company, announced that its 10th Annual Legends
of Music Seminar will feature Iggy
Pop, the godfather of punk. The seminar will take
place at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity on
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2016 at
3pm Cannes time at the Lumiere Theatre at the
Palais des Festivals.
Iggy Pop will be interviewed by
Nils Leonard, Chairman and Chief
Creative Officer of Grey London, about his creative journey.
Leonard has created a 90-second film of Iggy Pop performing a raw, expressive read of
Dylan Thomas' seminal poem "Do Not
Go Gentle Into That Good Night" as a prequel to the event.

In a year that has seen countless music legends fall, the film
is what Leonard calls "A salute to the most alive man I
know." It is a provocation on age and the world's current
obsession with dead heroes.
Widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic stage performers
of all time, Iggy Pop pre-figured
both '70s punk and '90s grunge and has built a legendary career
filled with both critical acclaim and fanatic cult success.
In 2010, Iggy and the Stooges were inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame.
