Alice Cooper Announces New Memoir Devil on My Shoulder

"I've written this book to track Alice's 'evilution,' and how I've tamed him at last. Just as he and I became almost fatally intertwined, the story of Alice Cooper after over thirty records and sixty-plus years has become a tangle of embellishments, elaborations and outright fabrications, and I think it's time to sort reality from myth."

"After over thirty records and sixty-plus years, the story of Alice Cooper has become a tangle of embellishments, elaborations and outright fabrications, that I think it's time to sort reality from myth: the slaughtered chickens, the bans and record burnings, the evangelical terrors, Ouija boards and poltergeists, resurrections and revenge from the grave, the cross-dressers, thieves, drug addicts and hopeless alcoholics, the house fires and car crashes-all will be revealed for what they really were."

"I'm also coming clean about the extent of my addictions, my blackout years, the creative process fuelled by alcohol, drugs and round-the-clock TV, my scramble to the top of the pile and the terrible slide back down."

Alice Cooper announces the release of his definitive autobiography 'Devil on My Shoulder,' arriving October 6th in the US and October 8th in the UK through Hachette Book Group and Ebury Spotlight. The memoir tracks Cooper's evolution and his relationship with his stage persona, which became almost fatally intertwined over sixty years and thirty-plus records. Cooper aims to clarify reality from the numerous embellishments and fabrications surrounding his career, including infamous incidents like slaughtered chickens, record burnings, and various controversies. The book addresses his addictions, blackout years, creative process fueled by substances, and his journey to the top and subsequent decline. Available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook formats, Cooper will embark on a UK book tour supporting the release.
