The organizers behind Alice Cooper‘s highly anticipated autumn speaking tour have officially confirmed an illustrious trio of guest moderators tasked with interviewing the legendary Godfather of Shock Rock. The “God of Hell Fire” himself, Arthur Brown, is set to join veteran radio broadcaster Claire Sturgess and celebrated music journalist Billy Sloan as the primary live interviewers across the nationwide run.
The specialized speaking campaign arrives in support of Cooper’s definitive new autobiography, Devil on my Shoulder, which is scheduled for global publication via Ebury Spotlight on 8th October 2026. Labelled as an intimate window behind the generational greasepaint and guillotines, the eight-date theatre tour will feature the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee exploring the schizophrenic, sixty-year dichotomy between his murderous Grand Guignol theatrical persona and his reality as a sober pastor’s son.
Pairing Cooper with the eccentric, theatrical mastermind Arthur Brown promises an unforgettable dynamic, uniting two foundational pioneers who originally shaped the visual boundaries of shock rock, multimedia stage performance, and heavy metal showmanship in the late 1960s. Backed by the additional journalistic precision of Sloan and Sturgess, the scheduled evening programs will close with an open audience question-and-answer segment designed to separate decades of rock folklore from reality.
