Alice Cooper, at 77, attributes his enduring energy for touring to his love for performing and the character of Alice he portrays on stage. Cooper describes his stage persona as an “arrogant villain” – and still enjoys playing the character despite decades of performing: “I never get tired of playing it… It’s so much fun.”
The singer also loves surrounding himself with talented and supportive band members like guitarist Nita Strauss, who bring a positive dynamic to the group. Cooper’s stage show, known for its shock value and horror-themed theatrics, has evolved over the years but still retains elements like the guillotine and electric chairs to engage the audience.
Cooper’s latest album, “Road,” explores the touring experience and features his long-standing live band, continuing his legacy as a pioneer of shock-rock and a master of rock psycho-drama.
