Alice Cooper, a trailblazer in the realm of shock rock, seamlessly blends horror, vaudeville and garage rock in his performances. Hailing from Detroit, he delivers a thrilling spectacle featuring electric chairs, faux guillotines and even boa constrictors. Cooper's daring theatrics continue to enthrall fans worldwide, boldly challenging conventions. Throughout his musical career, both with his original band and as a solo artist, he's produced hits like "Love It to Death," "Killer" and "School's Out." Alice has cemented his status as a cultural icon and a legendary figure in the global hard rock scene. In the 1980s, he ventured into diverse musical territories with albums such as Flush the Fashion, Constrictor and Trash, which includes the chart-topping track "Poison."

Beyond music, Cooper left his mark on the silver screen with appearances in horror films like Prince of Darkness and iconic TV shows like That ‘70s Show. Furthermore, in the 1990s, he continued to shape the landscape of rock and entertainment with albums like Hey Stoopid, The Last Temptation and the electrifying live record Fistful of Alice.
