Nita Strauss rejoins Alice Cooper’s band for 2023 tour dates

Los Angeles-Born guitarist Nita Strauss has rejoined Alice Cooper’s band and will be a part of the touring lineup for the group’s 2023 dates.

Strauss, who spent 2022 playing in Demi Lovato‘s live band after an eight-year stint with Alice, is set to rejoin AC group for his Too Close For Comfort U.S. run, which kicks off in April. Then there’s some stadium dates with Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe in the summer, and also the Freaks On Parade Tour with Rob Zombie this year too.

“She’s back!” commented Alice Cooper in a press statement. “Nita asked for a leave of absence to work with someone else, something I always encourage my band members to do. 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.”

Added Strauss: “From the studio to the stage, it’s always an immense honor to make music with Alice Cooper!! 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!”
