Alice Cooper is coming back to Livonia.
Rock City Music Company officials announced the appearance on Oct. 5, according to The Detroit News. Tickets cost $50.02 and are on sale through Rock City's website, with each ticket bundling a photo with Cooper and a pre-signed copy of “Devil on My Shoulder.” Per the event description, Cooper will not sign additional materials or memorabilia during the appearance, and the stop is sponsored by WRIF-FM (101.1).
A Third Trip to the Same Livonia Shop
The Nov. 5 date marks Cooper's third event at Rock City, giving Livonia a recurring role in his public appearances. The venue previously hosted Cooper for a fan meet-and-greet on Sept. 4, 2023, which started at 4 p.m. and was held at Rock City's address on Five Mile Road, according to a report from Banana 101.5. Tickets for that 2023 gathering ranged from $25 to $45, a notably lower price point than this year's $50.02 ticket for the book signing.
What's Inside Devil on My Shoulder
The memoir covers Cooper's life and career and delves into his addictions, part of a story the singer has spoken about publicly before. Per the Telegraph, Cooper has said his early-1980s crack cocaine use almost killed him; he went to rehab twice and has said he has been clean since 1983. The book's release date carries some ambiguity in reporting: BraveWords states it was published by Da Capo on Oct. 6, 2026, in North America, while alicecooper.com states the hardback, ebook and audio editions were set for publication on Oct. 8, 2026.
Beyond the recovery narrative, the book traces a career that according to Rolling Stone includes seven albums with the original Alice Cooper Band plus 21 additional solo albums. Hachette Book Group notes Cooper has sold more than 50 million albums or records worldwide, a run that led to his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction as part of the class of 2011, per Da Capo Press, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003, according to Hachette.
More Stops on the Calendar
Livonia is one piece of a busier fall stretch for the 78-year-old performer. Alice Cooper's fall tour includes a Nov. 6 date at the Colosseum at Caesars Windsor and a Nov. 7 date at Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo, bracketing the Livonia book signing on either side. Cooper is also set for an interview event with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, scheduled for Monday, Nov. 2 at 6:30 p.m., with tickets priced at $20 for Rock Hall members and $25 for non-members, according to FOX 8 Cleveland.
Cooper's book tour also extends overseas. His career spans six decades, and he planned an eight-date book tour in the United Kingdom timed to the memoir's UK publication. For Livonia fans, though, the draw remains local: a hometown-adjacent rocker returning to a familiar shop for a signed book and a photo, three events into a relationship between Cooper and Rock City that keeps bringing him back.
