    DETROIT (AP) -- A rental truck containing Iggy Pop and the Stooges' equipment was stolen after a concert in Montreal.

    Stooges road manager Eric Fischer says the 15-foot truck stolen Monday contained all the group's instruments and stage gear. He tells the Detroit Free Press the lost items are worth tens of thousands of dollars.

    The Stooges are in the middle of a tour with stops in Belgium, Britain, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Russia, Serbia, Spain and the United States.

    Fischer says the Stooges will still make their scheduled Wednesday gig in Toronto using rented and donated equipment.

    The 61-year-old Pop is considered widely influential in the development of punk and heavy metal rock.

    It's not right when anything is stolen.

    I always thought the Canadian people were more laid back than this anyway.

    When Iggy's not at a concert...he's working on his daily requirement of 17344 situps. Iggy is one badass 61 year old!
