Celebrating 40 years of touring Australia, Alice Cooper and special guest Ace Frehley played the Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, Oct. 21, awakening the ear drums of the 4,000 fans in attendance and grossing nearly $450,000. Cooper’s renowned love of horror continues to manifest in his performances with pyrotechnics, spider-filled eyes on the drop curtain, dark visuals and creepy dolls, which lined the stage. The caped Prince of Darkness, 69, proved that he is not ready to retire as he brought plenty of energy and charisma and delivered a rock show that left his audience walking away feeling exhausted.
The MTV hit show, Nick Cannon presents Wild ‘N Out Live, has gone back to the streets and made an appearance at Infinite Energy Arena, Duluth, Ga., Oct. 28.
