Rock musician Alice Cooper has been engaging in various career activities, including reflecting on his musical legacy and continuing his live performances. In London, Cooper discussed the evolution of his shock rock persona, noting that while his 1970s performances used props like guillotines to provoke religious and conservative groups, he views the character as an artistic figure similar to Batman.

Cooper is currently conducting his ‘Alice’s Attic’ tour, which features theatrical elements such as a guillotine and a Frankenstein figure. Alongside these performances, he has announced a book tour in New York City for October 2026 to support his autobiography, ‘Devil On My Shoulder’, which chronicles his transition from Vincent Furnier to the Alice Cooper persona.
