Alice Cooper has announced the release of his definitive autobiography, Devil On My Shoulder, due via Ebury Spotlight on 8 October 2026, alongside an intimate eight-date UK Q&A book tour. The memoir promises to pull back the curtain on one of rock’s most extraordinary careers, tracing six decades of music, mayhem and reinvention.
Devil On My Shoulder explores the two sides of Alice Cooper, the shock-rock character who terrified parents and thrilled audiences, and Vincent Damon Furnier, the pastor’s son behind the greasepaint. Cooper says the story follows their shared journey through pioneering rock ‘n’ roll, excess, addiction, survival and redemption.
“I’ve lived my life with an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. Welcome to my nightmare,” Cooper says. He also describes the memoir as a chance to sort truth from rumour after more than 60 years of stories, myths and larger-than-life legend.
The UK tour will give fans the chance to hear those stories in person, with Q&A appearances scheduled for Cardiff, Cambridge, London, Brighton, Manchester, Stockton, Glasgow and Wolverhampton in October 2026.
Each ticket includes entry and a copy of the book. General on-sale begins at 10 am on Friday 13 March 2026. For tickets, visit aegpresents.co.uk/event/alice-cooper Devil On My Shoulder is priced at £25 in hardback. For more details, visit alicecooper.com
