Alice Cooper wants to voice a character on The Simpsons
Alice Cooper wants to be on The Simpsons. The 77-year-old shock rock legend's music has appeared in Matt Groening's iconic animated sitcom - and rival show Family Guy - but he's yet to voice a character. He told when asked if he'd like to appear on the long-running programme: "Oh yeah, absolutely. When The Simpsons came out, they were totally unique. It was really, really funny. I really admired what they were doing. I showed up on Family Guy" They used my music a lot. Groening and those guys did an Alice character, and so did Family Guy. I thought Family Guy was probably more pointed, but I couldn't say [it was] more clever. They were both really very clever." In 1978, Alice made his legendary apperance on The Muppet Show, which he won't forget anytime soon. He recalled: "My favourite thing in the world was being on The Muppet Show. When they called me to be on The Muppets, I went, Oh man, I spent all this time making Alice Cooper the new monster. This is just going to water it down. I loved the show — it was a very funny show, very clever. I asked them, 'Who's done the show recently?' They said, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price, and I went, 'I'm in!' If those guys can do The Muppets ... I haven't earned the pedigree that those guys have, so I will definitely do it. That ended up being the reference point to an entire generation, me doing The Muppet Show. It's amazing, to this day people go, 'I discovered you on The Muppet Show, and after that I went and got all your albums.'" As well as musical performances of School's Out, You and Me, and Welcome to my Nightmare on the Halloween special, Alice portrayed an agent of the Devil, offering the Muppets fame and fortune in exchange for their souls. Gonzo swiftly wanted in, only to discover he had 'other plans' for his soul.

Groundbreaking eight-time Grammy award-winning musician Eddie Palmieri dies aged 88 after ‘extended illness'
GRAMMY Award winner Eddie Palmieri has died at the age of 88. The rumba and jazz musician died at his home in New Jersey on Wednesday. 2 He died following an 'extended illness,' his daughter, Gabriela, told The New York Times. Music legend Palmieri, coined as the "Madman of Salsa," was the first Latino artist to win a Grammy Award. During his illustrious career, he picked up another seven Grammy Awards. Palmieri was a highly-revered pianist and first learned to play the instrument when he was a child. But, he was fascinated by the drums and decided to play the timbales in his uncle's orchestra. He then changed course and returned to playing the piano. Palmieri played alongside stars such as Johnny Segul and Tito Rodriguez before he launched La Perfecta, his own band, in 1961. He won his first Grammy Award in 1975 for his album The Sun of Latin Music. His success continued into the 1980s, scooping another two Grammy Awards. .
