ALICE COOPER Forced to Cancel Russian Concert

ALICE COOPER Forced to Cancel Russian Concert
    MUSIC NEWS- Shock rocker, ALICE COOPER was forced on Friday night to cancel a concert in     Novosibirsk, Russia, after the stage rigging collapsed.  Fortunately, no injuries were reported.  Reports are the scaffolding on the stage at Spartak Stadium, where Cooper was scheduled to do an outdoor concert Saturday, The equipment that collapsed was provided by local equipment companies and no reason was given for the collapse, but the weather was clear and not likely a factor.The show was part of the European leg of the Alice's "Theater of Death" tour and won't be rescheduled. Fans were offered refunds, but were also informed that the tickets would be honored for a concert this week in Krasnoyarsk, several hundred miles from Novosibirsk.

Alice Cooper is scheduled to return to the US for a two-week tour that begins at the end of July before heading off for a series of dates in Australia and New Zealand (see full itinerary below).

In other Alice news, Brian "Renfield" Nelson, his long-time archivist and personal assistant recently died unexpectedly.  Our condolences to Mr Nelson's Family.
