Hollywood Vampires Announces North American Shows in May

The most expensive cover band of all-time is going to be back on the road this summer. 

Hollywood Vampires has added a handful of stateside concerts in May prior to the band's 20-show European jaunt.

The four North American shows will take place from May 17 - 21 at resorts and casinos around the Eastern seaboard. The band will then jump across the pond to Russia to start its European run.

When the band completes its tour this summer, frontman Alice Cooper says it plans to begin recording a second album. 

"Everybody is writing right now," Cooper told Billboard in February. "We probably won't get into the album until the summer, and then it'll go quickly because we've all got a lot of songs."

In addition to Cooper, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and famed actor Johnny Depp, the band is augmented by a rhythm section comprised of whomever is available among an all-star group of gold and platinum-selling rockers, including Duff McKagan, Robert DeLeo, Matt Sorum, Bruce Witkin and Tommy Henriksen.

But Cooper says the band may pull from an even larger group of rock legends to make its tour as memorable as possible. 

"If somebody wants to jump onstage and play with us, if they know the songs and they fit, then come on up," he said. "If a Jimmy Page could come up and play with us, or a Jeff Beck or any of those guys and do a couple songs with us, they would fit right into Vampire world, 'cause they lived through that era."
