Just when you thought it was safe to say “school’s out” and turn on summer radio, Alice Cooper is returning with a tour and new album to add to his 50 million sales.

In 1973, aged 23, Cooper was a Forbes cover star, with the headline “A New Breed of Tycoon.” In 2017, aged 69, he still wears the famous black eyeliner and says he has absolutely no plans to retire. He sits on the throne in an old Masonic Temple, appropriately on the site of the old Bedlam mental hospital in east London.

More on Cooper’s new album, the reunion of his 1970s band and his advice to musicians just starting out can be found here.
