Alice Cooper

November 16

Alice Cooper Live at The SSE Arena - Wembley  on the 16th November

The seeds have been sewn this year, with Alice having just ended his more
than 90 show 2016 tour with a final night at the legendary Pantages Theatre
in Hollywood - joined for a celebratory "School's Out" by rocker Butch
Walker and fellow Hollywood Vampire Johnny Depp.

And America's Black Friday Record Store Day saw the instant sellout of a
limited edition vinyl 45 of "I'm Eighteen/Is It My Body" recorded live in
Dallas in 2015 by Alice with fellow original Alice Cooper members Dennis
Dunaway, Neal Smith and Michael Bruce. The old high school and Rock and
Roll Hall Of Fame friends had reunited for a surprise performance at local
store Good Records.

Alice has also talked about his former fellow band members writing songs
together for a new Alice Cooper album, being recorded with longtime
producer Bob Ezrin this winter, due for 2017 release.

And for the UK tour, Alice is bringing 2 bands with him to reflect two of
his best sides - outrageous theatrical controversy and the darker, gothic
rock that Alice influenced.

The Mission were formed by two members of Sisters Of Mercy in 1986, Wayne
Hussey and Craig Adams. Songs like Wasteland, Tower Of Strength and
Deliverance became classics of the 1980's goth rock scene and beyond. The
band were heroes of alt rock, headlining Reading Festival twice and, on one
tour, selling out 7 consecutive nights at London's legendary Astoria
Theatre.

“I remember during the summer of 1972 being on scout camp and hearing this
new song on the radio that absolutely mesmerised me. School’s Out by Alice
Cooper. Loved it, still do," said The Mission's Wayne Hussey. "Fast forward
to 1987 and our first headline spot on the Friday night at Reading
Festival. Headlining the Sunday was Alice Cooper. And now we’ve been
invited by Alice to join him on his UK tour next November."

The Tubes come from the same art school, shock rock background as Alice
Cooper and, originally, the same city (and actually the same schools) -
being formed by Phoenix, Arizona natives and appalling some of the same UK
cities in the 1970s.

They made their name in psychedelic San Francisco however, honing their
satirical act, concept albums and ambitious stage shows that showed an
Alice level preference for self made props and costumes. Frontman Fee
Waybill's characters – like addled British glam rocker Quay Lewd caused
outrage in the UK, as did their bondage gear. 1977 saw their show banned in
many British cities but the music cut through with the seminal White Punks
On Dope defining their sound and they are still going strong with latest
album Mondo Pulp.
