Alice Cooper postpones new album recording sessions

There's been a major change in the timeline for Alice Cooper's new album. Back in February, he said it would be out in May, but while all the material is written, we've now learned that he hasn't even started recording it yet. At this time, he's not expected to hit the studio until January, with a possible release next May, though nothing's set in stone -- including the announced title, Along Came A Spider.

Alice's annual world tour gets underway May 28th in Santiago, Chile, and he's got a U.K. tour in November. North American dates haven't been announced yet.

In related news, Cooper's autobiography, which is called Alice Cooper, Golf Monster: A Rock 'N' Roller's 12 Steps To Becoming A Golf Addict, has been delayed a bit. The book was originally due out May 1st, but it will now be available on May 8th.

With a title like that, it should be no surprise that the shock rock legend told us his game is very strong: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "Three handicap, and I play five times a week, and I play really good. (laughs) Yeah, that's the one thing I can really do, other than Alice Cooper. That surprises people, I think. They just can't believe that Alice Cooper could be a three handicap, but I am." A three handicap means Cooper's score will be three strokes above whatever the course's par is.
