Rock legend Alice Cooper has been known to shock audiences during his concerts — outraging many parents with his stage antics for years! However, it may come as quite a surprise to some that he's actually a practicing Christian.
In an interview with CNS News, Cooper got candid, opening up about his faith and Christian family heritage.
"My grandfather was a pastor for 75 years," he said. "I grew up in a Christian home. My wife's father is a Baptist pastor… I went out and the Lord led me through everything, maybe allowed it but then started reeling me back in, saying OK, you've seen enough, now let's bring you back to where you belong."
Despite all of his wealth and fame, Cooper revealed there was still a huge emptiness in his life.
On the difference his faith had made, he said: "Before, you're always self-centered, everything is always for you, your self is god. Humans make lousy gods, we have to let God be God and us be what we are."
He explained that his return to Christianity occurred when he eventually quit drinking alcohol in the mid-1980s. What kept him going back to church was "the very fact that He cared enough about me to save my life about 20 times and help me survive a million different things," Cooper added.
