Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper, also known as the Alice Cooper Group or the Alice Cooper Band, is an American rock band formed in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1968. During its original 1968–1975 run, the band consisted of lead singer Vincent Furnier (who adopted the stage name Alice Cooper), lead guitarist Glen Buxton, rhythm guitarist and keyboardist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and drummer Neal Smith. The band was notorious for their elaborate, theatrical shock rock stage shows.
The Alice Cooper band was one of the few glam rock acts to achieve mainstream popularity in the United States, rising to fame in 1971 with the hit single "I'm Eighteen" from their third album, Love It to Death. Success continued with the US top 10 and UK No. 1 single "School's Out" from the album of the same name (1972). The band peaked in popularity in 1973 with their sixth album Billion Dollar Babies, which topped the charts in the US and UK and produced three UK top 10 singles. The supporting tour broke box-office records previously held by the Rolling Stones.
The band split up in 1975. Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper and began a successful solo career. In 2011, the original Alice Cooper band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Between 1999 and 2021, there were occasional reunions of the band before reuniting permanently in 2025 for their first studio album in 52 years, The Revenge of Alice Cooper.
