Legendary rock artist revealed he never planned farewell tours – move made by colleagues like Aerosmith and Kiss
Unlike rock peers like Aerosmith It is KISSwho are officially saying goodbye to the stage, AliceCooper hopes to stay in shape enough to continue performing for many years to come.
The legendary 75-year-old artist is on the cover of the October issue of Rock Candyand, for the magazine, said he is determined to counter the current trend of rock stars retiring – taking inspiration from artists like Mick Jaggervocalist of Rolling Stones who has just announced a new album after 18 years.
A farewell tour never crossed my mind. And it’s weird because all my friends are retiring […]. I feel great, and my band sounds great. I’m 75, but I’ll be up there [do palco] at age 90 if he is still in good shape.”
Cooper recently released his new studio album, road (2023), alongside his longtime bandmates: Ryan Roxie (guitar), Chuck Garric (low), Tommy Henrikson (guitar), Glen Sobel (battery) and Nita Strauss (guitar). The new album was released with a single objective: to play more and more shows.
Used to doing things his way, Alice cast a long shadow over rock music with an unparalleled live show and timeless anthems like “School’s Out”, “No Mr. Nice Guy” It is “Poison”. Selling over 50 million albums worldwide, he earned a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003, and the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame included him as part of its 2011 class.
