On a recent episode of the Rock & Roll High School podcast, hosted by Grammy-winning producer Pete Ganbarg, Alice Cooper discussed his enduring passion for touring.

Asked if heโ€™s still having fun on stage, Cooper replied, โ€œOh, yeah. Touring is just part of life. Iโ€™ve been touring since I was 16.โ€ He noted that while many artists could have retired long ago, he keeps going for the love of it โ€” and the benefits. โ€œI do 90 minutes a night, 200 shows a year. I feel great.โ€

Cooper also praised fellow lifers like Pete Townshend and Bob Dylan for continuing to tour relentlessly well into their later years.

Cooper has added four new dates to his Welcome To Our Nightmare collaboration with illusionist Criss Angel. Newly added shows on April 3 and 4 join previously announced performances on March 6โ€“8 and May 22โ€“23, featuring hits like โ€œPoison,โ€ โ€œIโ€™m 18,โ€ and more.

The 90-minute production blends magic, music, and mayhem, with VIP upgrades available that include backstage meet-and-greets with Cooper and Angel.
