Alice Cooper Memoir In October
Alice Cooper has announced that his definitive autobiography, “Devil On My Shoulder,” will arrive October 8th.
“Alice is still on tour around the world today, a proper senile delinquent playing hundreds of gigs every year, while I myself am reformed,” says Cooper. “And with the benefit of hindsight and a certain maturity, I’d like to describe our journey to Hell and back together, because it’s not only Rock stars who can lose their way.”
Born Vincent Damon Furnier in Detroit, the singer chronicles his transformation into Alice Cooper. “Me and Alice were getting creative with the truth long before the age of ‘fake news’,” adds Cooper, “Now, after over thirty records and sixty-plus years of fibs and fabrications, I think it’s time to sort the truth from the rumors and lies.”
As “The Godfather of Shock Rock” Cooper was a pioneer of a macabre and theatrical brand of Rock designed to shock audiences. He earned a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame in ’03 and was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in ’11.
