Best Known For:
Hit single School's Out.
Early-life:
Born Vincent Damon Furnier in Detroit, Michigan, on February 4, 1948. His father was a car salesman and an electrical engineer, but was a lay preacher in his spare time. He suffered from asthma as a child and the family moved to Phoenix, Arizona when he was 10 because the drier climate was considered better for his health. His condition improved and he became a marathon runner in high school. He also loved rock music and formed his first band, the Earwigs, for a school concert in 1965.
Career:
In 1969, the group were renamed Alice Cooper after a 17th-century witch. They were spotted by Frank Zappa, who signed them to his record label and built up a cult following due to their outrageous live shows. In 1972, they scored a massive hit with School's Out. The band split three years later but Furnier continued to use the name Alice Cooper for his solo recordings. His sales waned during the early 1980s, but he made a comeback with the single Poison in 1989. He continues to tour and record, and has dabbled in acting, appearing in such films as Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) and Dark Shadows (2012). He also played himself in Wayne's World (1992).
Quote:
"I'm about as all-American as it gets. I'm more Jimmy Stewart than Bela Lugosi."
Trivia:
Cooper is a keen golfer.
