Jagger isn’t the first rock icon to hail the band. Earlier this year, Iggy Pop teamed up with them for a new version of their single ‘I Wanna Be Your Slave’. Of the collaboration, Måneskin said: “It was such an honour that Iggy loved our music and wanted to work with us. It was touching seeing him sing ‘I Wanna Be Your Slave’ live in front of us, it was very powerful to see such a big artist being so open and friendly.”
