Alice Cooper is bringing an old friend back for his upcoming tour. Guitar goddess Nita Strauss will be re-joining Cooper’s band for his 2023 tour dates.
“She’s Back!,” Cooper announced in a press release. “Nita asked for a leave of absence to work with someone else, something I always encourage my band members to do. I like them to challenge themselves and try new things. I’m thankful to my old friend Kane Roberts for stepping up and filling in for her, but she’ll be back with us for the new tour that starts up in late April. It’s going to be great to have her back.”
Strauss left the band last year to tour with pop star Demi Lovato.
“From the studio to the stage, it’s always an immense honor to make music with Alice Cooper,” Strauss commented. “I’m very excited to be rejoining the band on the road for the 2023 dates, and so I’ll see you on the road in April. Let the nightmare return!”
Cooper and Strauss will be very busy in 2023 – Cooper’s ‘Too Close For Comfort’ tour kicks off in April, followed by a string of dates opening for Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe, and finally a co-headlining tour with Rob Zombie.
