Cooper, 77, is best known for his elaborate shows that draw from horror films for a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock audiences.
He broke onto the national scene as part of his eponymously named group with the song “Eighteen” in 1970, and with the band released five gold and platinum albums.
The group had four more Top 40 hits: "Schools Out," "Elected," "Hello Hooray" and "Nor More Mr. Nice Guy."
Solo success, and area shows
Cooper then went solo in 1975, and continued with the hits "Only Women Bleed," "I Nevet Cry," "You and Me," “Welcome to My Nightmare,” "How You Gonna See Me Now" and "Poison.”
In all, he has had 10 gold and platinum albums, including four platinum albums in a row from 1971-73. Eleven of his albums have hit the Top 40.
His most recent album was 2023's "Road."
