CELEB: Calls After Midnight: Kurt Cobain Reached Out to Iggy Pop

Before his death in 1994, Kurt Cobain once placed a late night call to Stooges frontman Iggy Pop and left the wiley singer a message asking if the pair could team up sometime soon for a studio collaboration. Pop claims he made repeated attempts to contact the Nirvana frontman but to no avail.

The 60-year-old says, “He called me up once at two in the morning. But this was when I was old enough to start going to bed at 9:30. When I’m not gigging I’m sensible so I didn’t take his call.

“It was cool because it was a great musician at his peak and he’s going, ‘Iggy, this is Kurt Cobain, let’s get in the studio man.’ “So he leaves me a number for the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. And then every time I would call it was like, ‘Mr. Cobain is under the bed,’ or ‘We haven’t heard from Mr. Cobain in three days.’”

Talk about a missed opportunity…
