"Alice Cooper Addresses Idea of Retiring as He Turned 72 This Year

"If I come into your town and put on a show and nobody shows up, well, then I know I'm done," the musician said.

During a conversation with KZZK, Alice Cooper was asked if the ongoing lockdown has made him consider retirement seeing that he turned 72 this year.

Cooper replied:

"Not in the least. That word doesn't exist in my vocabulary. A long, long time ago, I said if I come into your town and put on a show and nobody shows up, well, then I know I'm done.

"That hasn't happened. At 72, I was not expecting to be in two touring bands. And the [Hollywood] Vampires are just like my band - everybody in that band are best friends.

"You've got Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and myself - three alpha males - and we've been together six years and I have never heard one argument. Everybody just goes, 'OK. Good idea. Let's try that.'"

Back in 2018, Alice told Q103 Albany when asked about retirement

"I've always said this: If we do a tour and nobody shows up, then I'm retired. That's never happened. In fact, we're doing better business now than we've ever done.

"More people are coming to the show now, and I've never felt better, so I don't see any reason to retire at all. I know a lot of guys are quitting, but a lot of guys still smoke and drink.

"They're probably tired. I'm not tired. People always say, 'Well, you could just play golf every day,' and I say, 'I play golf every day anyway!'""
