The BBC reports that a truck full of instruments and stage gear belonging to singer Iggy Pop and band The Stooges has been stolen after they played at a festival in Montreal.

Their road manager told the Detroit Free Press newspaper the stolen gear was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

The veteran rocker and his band are playing in North America ahead of a European tour later this month.

The star, 61, known for his wild stage antics, will play dates including London's Get Loaded in the Park.

The band's road manager Eric Fischer told the Detroit Free Press some "priceless" vintage instruments were among those stolen.

They include bassist Mike Watt's Gibson instrument, which he first used in US punk band Minutemen in the early 1980s.
