Strauss left in fall of 2022

Nita Strauss rejoins Alice Cooper for his 2023 tour. Cooper disclosed the news on Monday (Mar 6th), stating the top-rated guitarist returns after departing last year to tour with Demi Lovato.

“She’s Back! Nita asked for a leave of absence to work with someone else, something I always encourage my band members to do,” Cooper says in a statement. “I like them to challenge themselves and try new things. I’m thankful to my old friend Kane Roberts for stepping up and filling in for her, but she’ll be back with us for the new tour that starts up in late April. It’s going to be great to have her back.”

“From the studio to the stage, it’s always an immense honor to make music with Alice Cooper!!” Strauss adds. “I’m very excited to be rejoining the band on the road for the 2023 dates, and so I’ll see you on the road in April. Let the nightmare return!”

The Alice Cooper North American tour, with an all-new show dubbed Too Close For Comfort, kicks off in late April in Michigan and continues through late September, including a handful of August stadium shows with Def Leppard and Motley Crue’s World Tour, followed by a co-headlining late summer Freaks On Parade tour with Rob Zombie.
