Alice Cooper is ending his long-running radio show ‘Nights With Alice Cooper.’ The rocker debuted the radio show in 2004, changing radio stations twice during the run.
The news was revealed on 95 KGGO’s Facebook page three weeks ago, and the final show is scheduled for September 8. The official statement read:
“We just got word yesterday that our buddy Alice Cooper will be hanging up his headphones for good on Friday, September 8th. He’s been a huge part of the 95 KGGO team since 2018. We plan to celebrate Nights with Alice Cooper until his last break.”
Radio + Television Business Report was told by a source that Cooper is not retiring or quitting radio and that the decision to end the show was forced due to the sale of United Stations, with new management changing the programming.
The ending of the rocker’s show comes right amid the business deal he lost due to his controversial comments on the trans community. Cooper was to work with an LGBT-owned make-up brand called Vampyre Cosmetics until he commented on being trans being a ‘fad.’ Though it does not necessarily imply that this is the reason, one might think that the fans and the community’s feedback could have caused the show to come to an end.
‘Nights With Alice Cooper’ featured various segments, song requests, Q&As, and interviews with notable names such as Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, Jerry Springer, Joe Perry, and more.
