Shock rocker Alice Cooper meets with fans at haunted house-themed restaurant
1 day ago
HOMER, Mich. (AP) — It was a haunted house, which meant Alice Cooper was right at home.
The shock rocker mingled with more than 150 fans Saturday at the Homer Mill, a haunted house-themed restaurant in south central Michigan. The 59-year-old Detroit native sat atop a black throne lined with skulls while he signed autographs.
"I'm a very accessible star," Cooper said. "I never say no to an autograph. I never say no to a photograph. If it's the public who made you, why hide from them?"
Cooper wore black leather from head to toe, but only after changing out of the orange T-shirt and jeans he'd worn during a morning round of golf in nearby Battle Creek.
Cooper first said publicly years ago that taking up golf helped him beat alcoholism.
"I was drowned in alcohol, throwing up blood in the morning," Cooper, who said he has been sober for 26 years, told the Jackson Citizen Patriot. "First thing in the morning, it was a drink. Then, it was another drink.
"I needed something to fill that space. Some people work out - I play 18 holes. That's my regimen."
