Guitarist Kane Roberts to rejoin Alice Cooper for September and October tour dates

Alice Cooper will be getting one of his most famous guitarists back in his line-up as Kane Roberts will be rejoining the shock rocker for the latter’s upcoming September and October tour dates. Roberts is replacing guitarist Nita Strauss who is rumoured to have taken a gig with pop rocker Demi Lovato.

Two days ago, Metal Sludge announced that Roberts was rumoured to be Strauss‘ replacement.

Roberts played with Alice Cooper back in 1985 to 1988 and on the albums Constrictor (1986) and Raise Your Fist And Yell (1987). He was a big part of Alice Cooper‘s “comeback” in the mid to late 80’s.

The following message was posted on Alice Cooper‘s Facebook page earlier today:

“I’m looking forward to welcoming back Kane Roberts for our shows in September and October. We’ve been friends all this time, and he’s always been one of my favorite guitarists. He’s bringing more muscle to the Detroit Muscle Tour. We’ve always had a swinging door policy where players can come and go, so it’s very exciting to get back on stage with Kane. The fans are in for a real treat at these shows. It’s gonna be a blast. Kane Roberts, Ryan Roxie, and Tommy Henriksen on guitars? Hell yeah!”
