Alice Cooper has never mixed music with politics... until now! On Wednesday night, Alice Cooper ‘opened’ for US President Barack Obama, when Obama addressed Arizona State University's graduation ceremony.
Many students would cringe at the thought of their parent performing in front of their mates, but ASU student Dash Cooper’s dad is a rock legend. Alice joined Dash’s band, Runaway Phoenix onstage and kicked off the evening’s proceedings with a rousing performance of his 1972 hit “School’s Out” at Arizona’s Sun Devil stadium, that had the 70,000 guests up on their feet.
Cooper said, "Of all the people I've ever shared a stage with, Obama is the biggest rock star,” adding, "And I'd like to thank him, in advance, for changing the national anthem to 'Schools Out'.”
And when asked if any of his other hits could accompany Obama’s address, he replied “Elected, No More Mr Nice Guy and how about Welcome To My Nightmare... that's a good one!”
Alice Cooper kicks off his World Tour in Europe this week. He will visit several territories from Spain and The Ukraine to Russia and Cyprus as well as performing at The Montreux Jazz Festival before hitting the USA, Australia and New Zealand in August, September and October. UK dates are expected to be confirmed shortly. Full tour details on AliceCooper.com | Home.
