ALICE COOPER Sells Memoirs For $500K

November 15, 2006

According to the New York Post, Alice Cooper has just sold his memoirs to Random House's Crown Books imprint for an estimated $500,000.

The book, "Alice Cooper, Golf Monster: My 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict", is billed as a candid look at his 35-year career, his drinking and his recovery, which was helped along by a new addiction to golf.

Instead of hitting the bottle, he now hits the links about 300 days a year.

Cooper got into music on a lark when he and a few fellow members of Phoenix's Cortez High School cross-country team lip-synched BEATLES songs, and it was good enough to win a local talent contest.

He was known then as Vincent Damon Furnier, but had his name legally changed to Alice Cooper in the mid-1970s as he was getting ready to go solo.
