The Hollywood Vampires, a band that includes Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, Tommy Henriksen, and Bruce Witkin, have announced their first ever tour. The dates were announced on April Fool’s Day with the note “this is no April Fool’s joke.”
The band has announced 9 dates so far, taking them from Portugal to California.
“We have to carefully schedule the Vampires,” Cooper recently told Rolling Stone. “That’s because you have Johnny’s movie schedule, you’ve got Aerosmith, you’ve got Guns N’ Roses and you’ve got me! It’s five entities going five different directions. To get those guys all at once when we’re not working is really unique, so everybody looks at their calendar and you have to find that two weeks where everybody’s off.”
The group released their debut album, Hollywood Vampires, last September, which featured covers of artists like Led Zeppelin, the Who, T. Rex, Plastic Ono Band and more. Paul McCartney, Brian Johnson, Dave Grohl and Slash were just some of the guest musicians to contribute to the star-studded LP.
The band performed at the Grammy’s earlier this year where they debuted a new song called, “As Bad as I Am,” and honored the late Motorhead vocalist and bassist, Lemmy Kilmister
