Punk icon Iggy Pop is taking Sex Pistols star Steve Jones' offer to join The Stooges seriously.

Jones offered to step in and fill the void left by the death of Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton.

He told the Los Angeles Times that he and Pop had been talking about Jones becoming an honorary member of The Stooges for upcoming tour dates, and now the 'Lust For Life' hitmaker admits he has been talking to the ex Pistol.

He says, "I talked to Steve, and if I wanted an extra guitar, he'd be the guy to call."

Asheton, 60, reportedly died from a heart attack on 6 January - just months after reconciling with Pop for a Stooges comeback.
