Alice Cooper is working on two new records (his twentyninth and thirtieth) simultaneously. “They’re two entirely different kinds of albums, but they’re Alice Cooper, pure rock‘n’roll albums,” Alice told American DJ Eddie Trunk. “[Both] will really be hard rock albums.”
Described by the organisers as “a oneof-a-kind artist”, Iggy Pop says he is “honoured” to accept this year’s Polar Music Prize at a ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden on May 24. Previous recipients include Paul McCartney, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith.
