Legendary shock-rocker, Alice Cooper has just released a new single called “Don’t Give Up” that offers up a message of encouragement and togetherness to help us through these strange times. “Don’t Give Up,” also came with an official music video made up clips contributed by over 20,000 fan videos after the singer gave a shout out last week “calling all minions” for help with the project.
At the outset of the song is a monologue from Cooper acknowledging that we are all doing it tough “in different ways” right now. “But you’ve got seven billion brothers and sisters all in the same boat. So, don’t panic. Live has a way of surviving and going on and on.”
“Don’t Give Up” is out today! It’s a song about what we’ve all been going through right now and about keeping our heads up and fighting back together.

Here in Australia, we were lucky enough to catch Alice's 'Ol Big Eyes Is Back Tour' before the cancellation of live events. He was just about to follow it up with a headlining a European tour with Cheap Trick. But now, like the rest of us, the shock rocker is back home in the United States laying low during the coronavirus pandemic, spending some time working on a new record. "Don't Give Up" is likely the first taster of what's to come! Stream/download here.
“We’re all in this together,” he told Rolling Stone. “Whether you’re entertainer or fan, rich or poor, male or female, old or young. And we’ll get through this together. And when we do, we’ll be back on the road, doing what we love to do.”
