M.O.W.A.T.

Former president of Rolling Stones Records and Iggy Pop's manager.

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Art Collins, who managed
Iggy Pop for the last 20 years, died suddenly Wednesday at his home in Pine Bush, N.Y. He was 52. Cause of death was not revealed, pending the outcome of an autopsy.

Collins entered the music business in 1975, working in Atlantic Records' promotion department, and then joined Rolling Stones Records where he eventually became president. In 1982 he turned to management; over the years his roster included Joe Jackson,
Marianne Faithfull and
Marshall Crenshaw.

In a statement, Iggy Pop commented: "Art was a big sweetheart. He was a marshmallow. This very down-to-earth guy was a kind of tonic for everyone he met, and he really loved rock and roll. He was immensely proud of his tenure with Atlantic Records, his work with the Rolling Stones, and I hope with me as well. He was my best friend."

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on July 30 at the New Prospect Church, 2964 State Route 52, Walker Valley, N.Y
