Biography :
Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier, February 4, 1948), is a hard rock singer and musician, whose work spans four decades. He is often referred to as the founder of shock rock due to his gory, theatrical concert performances.Known onstage for his shock-rock theatrics and controversial villainous stage role set to a melodic soundtrack of generally classic rock, and for his social and witty persona offstage, he is universally recognized as one of the most accomplished and influential artists in rock music, inspiring many later musicians and helped shape the sound and look of punk rock and early heavy metal, and is credited as being the first to bring storylined theatrics to the rock/pop concert stage, in the late 1960s. Cooper is also a film actor, golfing celebrity, restauranteur, and a popular radio DJ since 2004 with his US classic rock show “Nights With Alice Cooper”.
