Members

Hollywood Vampires is an American rock supergroup formed in 2015 by Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry to honor the music of the rock stars who died from excess in the 1970s. The band name derives from The Hollywood Vampires, a celebrity drinking club formed by Cooper in the 1970s whose members included Ringo Starr of The Beatles and Keith Moon of The Who.[2]

They have released one studio album, Hollywood Vampires (2015), featuring guest appearances by Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Joe Walsh, and Dracula star Christopher Lee amongst others.[3] Cooper and Perry have discussed plans for a future live album, stating that Depp's schedule works differently than theirs.[4]

Live performances

The group's debut live performances were held at Roxy Theatre (West Hollywood) in Los Angeles across September 16 and 17, 2015.[5] The three core members were accompanied by bassist Duff McKagan, drummer Matt Sorum, rhythm guitarist Tommy Henriksen, and Bruce Witkin on keyboards and additional guitar. Guest performers for both nights were Tom Morello, Geezer Butler, Perry Farrell, Zak Starkey, and Kesha,[6][7] and Marilyn Manson guesting on the second night.[8] The next week, the group performed at Brazil's Rock in Rio festival on September 24, 2015, and was webcast live by AOL.[9] Guest performers were Lzzy Hale, Zak Starkey, and Andreas Kisser.[citation needed]

In February 2016, the group performed at the Grammy Award ceremony as a tribute to Lemmy, who had died at the end of 2015.[10] The group also announced their first concert tour, to begin at Turning Stone Resort & Casino on May 24.[11]
