Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier, February 4, 1948) is an American rock singer and theatrical performer whose career has spanned over six decades. Widely known as "The Godfather of Shock Rock," Cooper is celebrated for his pioneering blend of horror theatrics, macabre imagery, and hard-hitting rock music. With a raspy voice and a penchant for over-the-top live performances, Cooper has left an indelible mark on the history of rock 'n' roll.

Originally forming the band Alice Cooper in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1964, Furnier adopted the band’s name as his own when he launched his solo career in 1975. His breakout concept album Welcome to My Nightmare set the stage for a solo legacy defined by innovation and provocation. Over the years, Cooper has experimented with glam rock, metal, new wave, and industrial rock—selling over 50 million records worldwide.

Alice Cooper’s stage shows are legendary, featuring guillotines, fake blood, boa constrictors, and twisted vaudeville-style acts. Yet offstage, Cooper is equally known for his wit, love of golf, and contributions to charity and entertainment beyond music. He is a restaurateur, a film actor, and the longtime host of the syndicated radio show Alice’s Attic.

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, Cooper remains a global icon who redefined what it means to be a rock performer. He is not only a musician but a master showman who transformed rock concerts into high-concept art and spectacle.
