The legendary singer and songwriter Alice Cooper said in an interview with Rock Candy magazine that he has no plans to retire and that he will be touring until he is 90 if his body and mind allows that.
Cooper is 75 and started his career in 1964. Since then he released 29 studio albums, when counting as a band and as a solo act. The most recent one is “Road”, which was released last August.
Alice Cooper says he will tour until he is 90
“A farewell tour hasn’t crossed my mind at all. And it’s weird, because all my friends are retiring. Gene Simmons said to me recently, ‘Look, I’m done. Come December, it’s over.’ And I go, ‘Well, you know, these farewell tours go on for years and years now, right?'”
“But Gene was very serious and said, ‘Not this time. I promise you that come December, Kiss as we know it is absolutely done.’ The guys in Aerosmith are saying the same thing, as are many other bands from my era.”
“But none of that occurs to me. It’s never been a thought that I’d retire. I feel great, and the band sounds great. I’m 75, but I’ll be up there at 90 if I’m still in good enough shape,” Alice Cooper said.
