Alice Cooper, the Godfather of Shock Rock, is officially being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.
This week, the Museum of Broadcast Communications revealed ten new inductees for 2025, of which Cooper was one.
This comes 14 years after his 2011 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which positions Cooper as the second person (after James Brown) to be inducted as both a performer in the Rock Hall and make it into the Radio Hall.
Talk about multifaceted.
While most people know him for his theatrical concerts, iconic makeup, and hits like ‘School’s Out’ and ‘Poison’, he’s also made a major impact in the world of radio.
For more than two decades, Cooper has hosted the syndicated show ‘Nights with Alice Cooper’, where he mixes music, humour, and personal stories in a way only a true rock veteran can.
In recent years, he has also launched a new show called ‘Alice’s Attic’, which is broadcast here on The Sound - New Zealand’s only destination for the five-hour segment.
Alice's Attic gives fans his signature style in a programme that feels more intimate, with Cooper digging into forgotten tracks, rock trivia, and behind-the-scenes tales.
The ceremony will take place in October in Chicago. It’s a well-earned moment for someone who continues to surprise and entertain.
Alice Cooper didn’t leave the stage; he just found a new one.
You can catch ‘Alice's Attic’ on The Sound from 7 pm weekdays, and you can now join the legend at midday for Alice’s ‘Classic Rock Lunch’.
