"More than rock 'n' roll royalty, Alice Cooper is a living legend who has transformed shock rock and left an indelible mark on music and pop culture. Known for his theatrical stage shows, razor-sharp lyrics, and a career spanning nearly five decades, he's captivated audiences worldwide as both the fiendish onstage persona of "Alice Cooper" and the man beneath the makeup-a figure with a story as compelling as his onstage act. From unforgettable songs like "School's Out" and "I'm Eighteen" to albums such as Welcome to My Nightmare and Billion Dollar Babies, Cooper's music has defined generations of rock fans. In Devil On My Shoulder, Alice Cooper offers an intimate glimpse into his dual identity, pitting his rockstar persona against the man beneath the makeup. Through an "angel vs. devil" narrative, he reflects on his battles with addiction, fame, and faith, while sharing unforgettable stories of encounters with legends like Salvador Dalí, John Lennon, and Frank Sinatra. This memoir dives deep into the highs and lows of his extraordinary career, exploring what it truly means to survive and thrive in rock 'n' roll while staying true to oneself. With humor and introspection, Alice reveals the darker and lighter sides of stardom, offering readers a front-row seat to his career and the demons he's battled along the way"-- Provided by publisher.
