Saturday Nights With Alice
Formerly 'Vincent Furnier' of Detroit, Alice Cooper became the master of 'shock-rock' during the 1970s and 30 years later is still going strong, with his combination of theatrical horror (including on-stage decapitations and hangings!) and hard rock still thrilling crowds.
The name Alice Cooper originally referred to the band - not the singer - with the name coming to the band during a sceance. It was the name of a 17th Century witch. The band's big break came in 1969 when Frank Zappa signed them to his record label and they went on to achieve huge success with hits including Schools Out and Billion Dollar Babies before the group dissolved and Alice took the band name as his own. Solo hits such as Poison followed, while Alice also focused on building his off-stage celebrity status.
Alice presents Breakfast with Alice every weekday morning from 6am.
