Alice Cooper releases memoir Devil on My Shoulder

Rock musician Vincent Furnier, known professionally as Alice Cooper, has released a new book titled ‘Devil on My Shoulder’. The memoir explores his six-decade career, spanning over twenty albums and hundreds of performances.

The book delves into the distinction between Furnier’s personal identity and his theatrical stage persona, ‘Alice’, which he describes as a mischievous imp rather than a literal devil. It covers his childhood influences, the excesses of rock and roll, personal struggles, and his eventual resilience and redemption.

While the work provides extensive detail on his era in the 1970s, it also offers insight into the human being behind the shock-rock legend, addressing themes of identity and the challenges of maintaining a larger-than-life persona.
