Former ALICE COOPER Guitarist 'Entirely Alert' Following Heart Attack

July 9, 2007

Former ALICE COOPER guitarist Dick Wagner, who has also played with KISS, AEROSMITH and LOU REED, recently suffered a "serious" heart attack but is expected to make a "full recovery."

Suzy Michelson, Wagner's business partner, has issued the following update: "I just saw Dick at the hospital and he is now entirely alert — his great mind is intact, his humor is intact. His heart and body are recovering, and he will soon be back to 100%. He is entirely off all life support systems, and his prognosis is excellent. WOW!!!!!! Dick is one of my dearest friends in the entire world, and I am so relieved to share this great news with you."

When Dick is fit again, he will be recording some new music with Steve Hunter and Fred Mandel (of the "Welcome to My Nightmare" band) for the upcoming Wagner/Hunter documentary, which also features Alice.

Wagner was Alice Cooper's right-hand man on the albums "Welcome to My Nightmare", "Goes To Hell", "Lace And Whiskey", "From The Inside" and "DaDa", helping in songwriting, composing, production and playing lead guitar.
