A Long-Awaited Reunion
Rock fans have a reason to celebrate as Alice Cooper reconnects with his original band to release their first album together in more than five decades. Known as the Alice Cooper Band, the group hasn’t released new music since 1973’s Muscle of Love. This exciting comeback has been set for July 25, according to Billboard.
Reflecting on the reunion, Cooper shared his thoughts about the experience: “It was very much like this was our next album after Muscle of Love. Just like, ‘OK, this is the next album.’ Isn’t that funny after 50 years? All of a sudden it just falls into place.”

This combination of musicians is set to deliver something familiar yet fresh for fans. They’ve carried the spirit of the band forward in a way that feels authentic to both older and newer audiences.
