Alice Cooper is an American singer, songwriter and musician widely regarded as the pioneer of theatrical rock.

Originally the name of the band he fronted before becoming his own stage name, Cooper rose to prominence in the early 1970s by combining hard rock with elaborate horror-inspired stage shows featuring guillotines, snakes, electric chairs and other shock effects. Albums such as ‘Love It to Death’, ‘School’s Out’, ‘Billion Dollar Babies’ and ‘Welcome to My Nightmare’ helped establish him as one of rock’s most distinctive performers.

Across a career spanning more than six decades, Cooper has continually reinvented his music while influencing generations of hard rock, heavy metal and shock rock artists.

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Alice Cooper in 2011.
