ROCK LEGENDS NICK CAVE AND IGGY POP JOIN FORCES FOR ANIMALS IN NEW PETA US VIDEO

First-of-Its-Kind Collaboration Is Scored by Cave and Features Iggy –Shirtless, Naturally

London – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have joined forces with PETA US for a new video, which stars Iggy Pop live and in animation, showing his muscles as he cavorts to one of Cave’s most adored love songs, “Breathless.”

In the video, the “godfather of punk” appears in his dog’s daydream as a superhero, helping a turtle safely across the road and coming to the defence of a rabbit in a hare-raising attack, as Cave sings, “The rabbit hides beneath the ground/For he is defenceless without you/The sky of daytime dies away/

And all the earthly things they stop to play/For we are all breathless without you.”

The uplifting new video carries an important message. “Nick Cave and Iggy Pop have left PETA breathless with this sweet video,” says PETA Director Elisa Allen. “If everyone acted like the people our dogs think we are and depend on us to be, the world would be a far kinder place.”

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are part of a long list of musicians – including Paul McCartney, The Black Keys, Sia, Morrissey, and Chrissie Hynde – who have donated their songs to PETA US, whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to abuse in any way”
