Iggy Pop drummer, Alex Kirst, killed in hit and run
Iggy Pop drummer Alex Kirst was tragically killed on January 13 in a hit-and-run car crash in Cathedral City, California.
The 47-year-old drummer was walking on Date Palm Drive when he was struck by an SUV around 11:45 p.m. on Thursday, January 13. There was no evidence at the scene that the driver of the car tried to hit the brakes before he or she struck Kirst. The driver left Alex for dead after the accident.
Kirst was also a member of the 1980s and early 1990s band the Nymphs, who split after the release of only one album in 1990 on Geffen Records. Kirst played along with his brother Whitey Kirst and Pete Marshal in Iggy Pop's solo albums Beat 'Em Up (2001) and Skull Ring (2003).
Police describe the car that struck Kirst as either a white Chevrolet Tahoe or a GMC Yukon. Authorities believe the vehicle is between the model years of 2000 and 2006. The car involved in the accident will have front-end damage and a broken passenger-sde headlight.
