Alice Cooper and wife renew wedding vows
Alice and Sheryl Cooper have marked their 50th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows.
Alice Cooper and his wife have renewed their wedding vows.
The School's Out hitmaker and his spouse Sheryl marked their 50th wedding anniversary by reaffirming their commitment to one another at the Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday (21.03.26) in front of 220 of their loved ones.
According to HELLO! magazine, Sheryl's father, 92-year-old William Goddard, officiated the ceremony, as he had done when the couple first tied the knot in 1976.
Alice and Sheryl, 69, exchanged rings which had been given to them by their friend Jimmy Chase, which were designed to complement their lifestyles, such as the 78-year-old singer's need to hold a microphone and his love of golf, and were made from 18k yellow gold with cabochun cut rubies and brilliant-cut diamonds.
At one point, to mark their renewed vows, Alice dipped his dancer wife and kissed her as their friends and family looked on.
Last year, Alice - whose real name is Vincent Furnier - gushed he and Sheryl have a "perfect" marriage.
Discussing how his spouse still performs with him, decades after they met when she toured as one of his dancers, he told Classic Rock magazine: "That’s so much part of our show, so much of our sense of humour, and Sheryl is showbiz all the way.
“She started with the Joffrey Ballet and was Goldie Hawn’s stunt double back in the day, so she can’t wait to get on the road.
“She’s as much of a road rat as I am.
“We sit together putting our make-up on before the show in the same dressing room and it’s like Burns and Allen, a showbiz couple that can’t get enough showbiz and can’t get enough of one another.
“If I was gonna choose to hang out with one person on this planet for the rest of my life, it would be her, on any level, she’s that much fun.
“It really is a perfect marriage.”
Despite his advancing years, the Poison hitmaker - who has three children with Sheryl - insisted he doesn’t feel his age and thinks having a lifestyle that hasn’t been “destructive” has helped him keep performing.
He said: “Nobody was supposed to last this long. But you look at the Stones, McCartney and Ringo and you go, ‘Hey, if you’re in good physical shape and have a lifestyle that’s not destructive, why not?’
“My lifestyle is anything but destructive. I’m the most optimistic person on the planet, always have been.
“So when I’m on tour, if you asked me, ‘How old are you?’ and I didn’t know, I’d probably say mid-forties. Genuinely.
“I get off the stage and I’m not breathing hard and that’s a matter of adopting a young mindset.
“If I bought into, ‘I’m 77 years of age…’ that’s who I’d become but I’ll never do that.”
