IGGY POP has retreated to a countryside hideaway to write songs for his new album.
In an attempt to escape his wild lifestyle, the punk icon went back to basics and isolated himself in a small cabin with his guitar when writing for new disc Preliminaires.
Speaking to New York magazine, he said: "I am a hick from the sticks. I come from a town in Michigan called Ypsilanti. The cabin is like a studio, an office, a place I'll go to do face-to-face interviews.
"I also have a small estate with my family in Miami, Florida, and I go to the (Cayman) Islands when I can't take it anymore."
