It appears the July 2nd show in Kiev, Ukraine has been canceled. No reason has surfaced yet that I've seen, although it's has been suggested it will be rescheduled for November.

Alice released the following statement on the Death of pop star Michael Jackson:  "Michael Jackson was easily as influential as James Brown and that's saying a lot. He was the Fred Astaire of his time. We had Vincent Price in common -- I used him first on "Welcome to My Nightmare" in 1975 and he (Jackson) later used him on "Thriller." Nobody moved like Michael, he was truly the King of Pop."

The Morung Express has an interview with Alice about religion. While they say this is the first time Alice has spoken in detail on the subject (not true) they also say it was taken from a "Christian Magazine' and mention HM magazine March/April edition. This is the same magazine/issue date that ran a large AC feature way in back in 2002, so it looks like they are maybe quoting a very old article as if it's news.

If you check out Sweden Rock Magazine and watch the video on the front page, you will spot a certain Mr Roxie around 3.48 into it. Don`t forget the new Roxie 77 album is almost here!

The second is a rare interview with Brian which tells the 'Renfield' story and illustrates how big a fan Brian always was. Lastly a short article in the MetroTimes from this week.

According to The Independent Alice has his travel bag back!
"Shock rocker Alice Cooper was being reunited with his beloved collection of more than 300 horror movies after his bag went missing at an airport. Cooper, 61, was said to be "gutted" after losing the piece of luggage crammed with obscure films, some described as irreplaceable. Cooper carried the bag on a flight which landed at Heathrow airport on Tuesday. He had it with him while he was at Heathrow but it somehow got lost. The dark grey Oakley bag contained a collection of obscure horror DVDs and a laptop, a statement on his behalf said. He was so desperate to get the bag back that he issued an appeal, saying anyone able to return his bag with the contents intact would receive two tickets and backstage passes to meet him at any show on his Theatre of Death tour. A spokesman for British Airways said that the airline had found Cooper's bag. As soon as the statement from Cooper was forwarded to them, which had contact details for his representatives, the airline got straight in touch to arrange its return. "The bag is on its way," the spokesman said. "

Alice Cooper arrived at London’s Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 on Tuesday afternoon 9th June, where one of his bags went astray.  The shock rocker’s 22-inch dark grey Oakley rollerbag (with a black military faux buckles) has gone missing.  It may have a ‘Trash Tours’ tag on it with a US phone number. The bag contains hundreds of obscure horror movies on DVD and a laptop on which to watch them.  While of no significant monetary value, Alice is understandably keen to recover his extensive horror collection. An extensive search of both Terminal 5 and Heathrow's lost luggage facilities has not turned up the bag.
Anyone able to return Alice’s bag – with the contents intact – will receive 2 tickets and backstage passes to meet Alice at any one of the shows on Alice Cooper’s Theatre of Death tour, which comes to the UK in November/December.
Anyone with any information, please contact: trevor@planetrock.com
