Alice Cooper « Devil on My Shoulder Book Tour »

Alice Cooper brings the Devil on My Shoulder Book Tour to Cambridge on 12 October 2026 at the Cambridge Corn Exchange. Born Vincent Damon Furnier in Detroit, he first took the Alice Cooper name fronting the late‑60s band that mixed hard rock, glam and a taste for theatrical shock, drawing on horror films and cabaret. With the group, he set the tone on albums like Love It to Death, Killer and School’s Out, before turning the name into a solo vehicle with Welcome to My Nightmare and a run that later included Trash, The Last Temptation and Detroit Stories.

This date pivots from pyrotechnics to storytelling. Cooper looks back on the shift from Phoenix garages to world stages, the characters he’s inhabited, the stagecraft and props that shaped his shows, and the songwriting that anchored it all. Expect memories from studios and tours, the making of key records, and how his unmistakable voice and theatre‑driven approach evolved across decades. An evening with a performer who built concerts like short plays, unpacking the riffs, imagery and recurring nightmares that have marked his career.
