Alice Cooper just got named to this huge hall of fame: 'Icing on the cake'

Alice Cooper has been in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — and deservedly so — since 2011, inducted alongside the bandmates with whom he recorded such rock ‘n’ roll classics as “School’s Out,” “I’m Eighteen” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy.”

Now he's set to be inducted into the 2025 Radio Hall of Fame in recognition of his influential presence as host of the nationally syndicated shows "Alice’s Attic with Alice Cooper" and "Nights with Alice Cooper."

Cooper joins a class of 10 honorees selected by a combination of industry voters and the Radio Hall of Fame Nominating Committee.

Alice Cooper says Radio Hall of Fame is truly 'icing on the cake'

Cooper, who lives in Paradise Valley with his wife Sheryl, broke into radio with "Nights with Alice Cooper." His current show, "Alice’s Attic," blends rare tracks, classic rock staples, behind-the-scenes stories and listener calls into a daily five-hour broadcast.

The show is syndicated by Superadio and airs on more than 70 stations across the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.

Cooper issued a statement saying, "Growing up in Detroit, the radio was always on — it shaped some of my most vivid memories from hearing the Beatles for the first time to the thrill of hearing my own songs on air. After years of listening to legendary deejays spin my music, I eventually joined them by launching my own syndicated show over 20 years ago.”

Being honored by the Radio Hall of Fame, he said, “is truly the icing on the cake.”

His presence, passion and ability to connect with listeners have reshaped the medium and inspired countless broadcasters.”
