Alice Cooper has announced the publication of his autobiography. Devil On My Shoulder will hit the shelves on October 8 via Ebury Spotlight in the UK and Da Capo in the US, and is accompanied by a UK book tour in which Cooper may be witnessed in conversation, followed by an audience Q&A.
The run of eight dates will commence at the New Theatre in Cardiff on October 11, and wrap up on October 20 at Wolverhampton Civic Hall. Tickets go on sale on the spookily appropriate Friday 13, via AEG. Full dates below.
“I was born Vincent Damon Furnier but, seduced by my character’s reputation, changed my name legally to Alice Cooper, and in the process lost sight of who I really was," says the shock rock legend. "The mild-mannered, all-American boy I’d once been became a monster and a mortal danger to himself.”
Article continues below“Alice is still on tour around the world today, a proper senile delinquent playing hundreds of gigs every year, while I myself am reformed. And with the benefit of hindsight and a certain maturity, I’d like to describe our journey to Hell and back together, because it’s not only rock stars who can lose their way.
"Me and Alice were getting creative with the truth long before the Age of Fake News. Now, after over thirty records and sixty-plus years of fibs and fabrications, I think it’s time to sort the truth from the rumours and lies.”
Devil On My Shoulder includes details of Cooper's encounters with Salvador Dalí, Bob Hope, John Lennon, Groucho Marx, Vincent Price, Frank Sinatra, Erroll Flynn, Bette Davis, Jim Hendrix, Gerald Ford, Andy Warhol, Tiger Woods and many more.
Cooper's book tour dates are in addition to his current Las Vegas residency with Criss Angel, his previously announced Alice's Attic tour shows, and his schedule with the Hollywood Vampires. Full details below.
