Alice Cooper has announced that guitarist Gilby Clarke will be joining his band for shows from January 31 through February 16, filling in for Nita Strauss, who unfortunately has conflicting obligations of her own. Previously, guitarist Orianthi had been planning to fill in for Strauss, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she’s unable to do the tour.
Clarke, best known for his years with Guns N’ Roses, has had a long and successful career working with a wide variety of artists, including Nikki Sixx, Slash, Nancy Sinatra, Rockstar Supernova, Heart, Slim Jim Phantom, and MC5, as well as releasing several solo albums.
Alice will be announcing further 2025 tour dates, with Nita Strauss back in the fold, including already-announced shows on May 9 at the Sonic Temple festival in Columbus, Ohio, the Boardwalk Rock Festival in Ocean City, Maryland on May 18, and August 15 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Lincoln Financial Field with My Chemical Romance.
