A closer look at “Alice Cooper on Faith, Fame, and Addiction Ahead of Wolverhampton Book Tour”, exactly as the source publishes it. Rock legend Alice Cooper is opening up about his lifelong struggle with addiction, his Christian faith, and the theatrical persona that made him famous, as he prepares to bring his book tour to Wolverhampton. The 76-year-old shock rocker, born Vincent Damon Furnier, describes his onstage character as a split personality akin to Jekyll and Hyde—a dark alter ego that allowed him to explore taboo themes while keeping his personal life separate.
Cooper, who has been sober for decades after battling alcoholism in the 1970s and 80s, credits his faith and his wife Sheryl for helping him survive the excesses of rock stardom. His upcoming appearance at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre is part of a wider UK tour promoting his recent memoir, which details his journey from preacher's son to pioneer of theatrical rock.
