Alice Cooper will be in Halifax on September 23 with The Rolling Stones on the Commons, according to tour dates listed on his Website.
Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier, February 4, 1948), is a hard rock singer and musician. "Alice Cooper" was originally the name of Furnier's band; he legally changed his own name to Alice Cooper for a successful solo career. He is often referred to as the founder of shock rock due to his gory, theatrical performances.
Cooper's music influenced many later musicians and helped shape the sound of punk rock and early heavy metal.
On June 15, 2006, a campaign to get the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to induct him was started by two German fans online. This campaign was sparked by a column written on April 5, 2006 by Creem writer and official Cooper biographer Jeffrey Morgan in Metro Times Detroit. A previous attempt was made in 2004 by fan Robert Floto using an online petition which logged more than 2,700 entries before being mailed to the RRHF in July of that year. This earlier attempt was unsuccessful. In early July 2006 he started hosting the breakfast show on Planet Rock. |
