During a recent interview with Rock Candy, Alice Cooper confirmed that he has no plans to retire. The singer says he will still hit the stage at 90 if he is “in good enough shape.”
Cooper said the following:
“A farewell tour hasn’t crossed my mind at all. And it’s weird, because all my friends are retiring. Gene Simmons [of KISS] 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.”
Cooper also cited The Rolling Stones as an inspiration:
“I’m looking at Mick Jagger as the prototype. Mick still does three-hour shows and the soundcheck. So if Mick can do it, so can I.”
