Cooper, Johnny Depp e Joe Perry juntos em palco

Alice Cooper , Johnny Depp e Joe Perry, do Aerosmith prestam homenagem no Rock in Rio Brasil aos Hollywood Vampires, um grupo formado por lendas do rock no auge de 1970.

É desta forma que a organização do Rock in Rio – Brasil nos apresenta uma das surpresas da edição de 2015: “Pense em um grupo formado por lendas do rock, no auge de 1970, que tinha como teste de iniciação tomar um belo porre. Alice Cooper, Keith Moon (baterista do The Who) e John Lennon(sim, o próprio) estavam entre alguns dos membros. Em 2013, Cooper e Johnny Depp (sim, aquele) decidiram fazer um tributo aos vampiros originais e gravaram um álbum com Joe Perry, do Aerosmith.

Também Alice Copper confirmou esta presença no seu Instagram.
