Alice Cooper survived fame thanks to 50-year marriage
Alice Cooper is able to continue rocking well into his 70s because he's been "happily married for 50 years". The 77-year-old rock veteran believes his lengthy relationship with his wife Sheryl - who he married in 1976 - as well as his healthy lifestyle has helped him survive fame and allowed him to keep making music and touring as he approaches his 80th birthday. He told The Times newspaper: "I am still touring full blast at the age of 77 like I always have. Although none of us thought [at the start] that we would even get past 30 years of age. "But I haven't had a drink in 42 years, I'm not taking any drugs, I never smoked cigarettes and a lot of this has to do with being happily married for 50 years and having a great family where everybody has married the right people." Alice - real name Vincent Furnier - is heading out on a 100-date tour this year and he is happy to be able to bring Sheryl out on the road with him. He added: "One thing that is really good is that my wife is in the show. So when I go on tour I don't have to leave home; I bring home with me." The rocker went on to add: "Everybody asks what keeps you going and everybody expects at 77 for Alice to get up there and phone it in because he's not able to move around very much. "And hey, Mick Jagger is four years older than me and he is still killing it up there. I am defiant about this: I want Alice to get up there and when they get in I want them to say: 'Are you kidding me? He can't be 77'. "That is what drives me forward. If I can't play Alice the same way I played Alice 40 years ago I shouldn't be up there. But I don't think Alice Cooper is done having his day yet." A well as heading out on tour this year, the musician is also reuniting The Alice Cooper Band for their first album in 50 years. The follow-up to 1973's 'Muscle of Love' is entitled 'The Revenge of Alice Cooper' and will land on July 25.

The original Alice Cooper Band is set for an epic comeback , ready to drop their first studio album in half a century. Branded The Revenge of Alice Cooper, fans can mark their calendars for the July 25 release, a grand sequel to their 1973 hit Muscle of Love. It's history in the making as shock rock legend Alice Cooper, at 77, gets back with bandmates—guitar genius Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and beats master Neil Smith. The squad has also roped in Nashville's hotshot guitar slinger Gyasi Hues. Offstage, they're weaving magic with legendary producer Bob Ezrin, who crafted their top-charting soundtracks like Love It to Death, Killer, School's Out, and Billion Dollar Babies.

And Bob Ezrin, a maestro who's shaped the sounds of Aerosmith, Kiss, Pink Floyd, and Deep Purple, admits the studio reunion felt just like old times. "None of them has changed much as a person. Obviously everyone's older and more mature and more settled, but when we all get together and I watch the interplay between them, it's like they just walked out of high school and were hanging out in the local cafe. "They just revert to type. They revert to who they were as kids when they first got together... and make music together like they did 50-some years ago," he said. The lead single "Black Mamba" will debut on April 22 during Alice's own radio show, Alice's Attic. The project marks their first full-length studio album as a group since the '70s, though they briefly reunited in 2021 for Alice's solo album Detroit Stories and previously released a live album, Live From The Astroturf, in 2018. Fans on social media reacted quickly. One fan expressed their excitement, "I'm looking forward to the Alice Cooper album. I've always been a fan! It was my dad when I was a kid telling me about how great the Beatles were, Alice Cooper as his proof to convince me and convince me he did!" Another fan was more skeptical, "Oh my. I haven't really bothered with 'new' Alice Cooper for about 20 years. But this... I wonder if the Alice Cooper band can pull it off." Other fans were thrilled, with one writing, "Never thought I'd see the day," and another adding, "Bring it on! I'm so here for this!" A fifth fan couldn't contain their excitement, posting simply: "Omg is this real? ! ? ! Please don't toy with my emotions!"

Alice Cooper Reunites with Original Band for First Album in 51 Years
The post Alice Cooper Reunites with Original Band for First Album in 51 Years appeared first on Consequence. The original Alice Cooper band has returned, with the shock-rock legend announcing The Revenge of Alice Cooper, the group's first album in 51 years. It's set to arrive on July 25th. The Bob Ezrin-produced album sees Cooper reunited with his old bandmates Michael Bruce (guitar), Dennis Dunaway (bass), and Neal Smith (drums). The tracklist includes 14 songs plus two bonus tracks, including a 2025 remix of the Easy Action cut 'Return of the Spiders.' The lead single and opening track 'Black Mamba,' which features The Doors' Robby Krieger, is set to premiere Tuesday (April 22nd) via Cooper's syndicated radio show, 'Alice's Attic.' Get Alice Cooper Tickets Here Speaking with Billboard about the reunion album, Cooper said the project fell into place as if no time had passed, the band picking up where it left off after 1973's Muscle of Love. 'It was very much like this was our next album after Muscle of Love, just like, 'OK, this is the next album,'' he said. 'Isn't that funny after 50 years? All of a sudden it just falls into place.' Ezrin helmed the board for the seminal albums released by the original Cooper band in the early 1970s — Killers, School's Out, and Billion Dollar Babies — and he likened the sessions for the new album to those he produced back in the day. 'None of them has changed much as a person,' Ezrin told Billboard. 'Obviously everyone's older and more mature and more settled, but when we all get together and I watch the interplay between them, it's like they just walked out of high school and were hanging out in the local cafe. They just revert to type. They revert to who they were as kids when the first got together… and make music together like they did 50-some years ago.' The album is the culmination of the old Alice Cooper bandmates gradually reconnecting in recent years. All four living members played at the band's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2011, which led to additional in-studio collaborations on Cooper's subsequent solo albums and the occasional onstage reunion. 'All of those things got everybody reacquainted — reacquainted is a weird term 'cause we're so much like family, so it's more like a family reunion,' Dennis Dunaway told Billboard. 'Then Alice and Bob called and were talking about, 'Oh yeah, we want to do an album,' because there's so many songs kicking around.' Meanwhile, Alice will be active with his current live band in 2025, as well, with spring/summer headlining dates and a co-headlining fall run with Judas Priest on the books. Get tickets here.
