Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is an iconic American rock singer, songwriter, and musician whose career spans over five decades. Born Vincent Furnier, he adopted the band name as his own and pioneered shock rock, a theatrical sub-genre fusing heavy metal with horror film aesthetics. Cooper revolutionised live music by incorporating grand guignol stage elements like guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, and boa constrictors into his energetic rock concerts.

Beyond his dark, vaudevillian stage persona, Cooper is celebrated for his raspy vocals and an impressive catalog of classic rock anthems. Hits like “School's Out” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy” cemented his commercial success and influenced countless heavy metal and glam rock artists. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, he remains a beloved cultural figure known for his witty off-stage personality, love for golf, and enduring dedication to rock and roll.
