ALICE COOPER Keeps His Snake In Good Hands

July 22, 2004

Duncan Forgan of Scotsman.com is reporting that the current reptile of choice for ALICE COOPER's live European show is a boa constrictor named Lady Macbeth, who lives in East Lothian, Scotland.

The 12-foot long snake, whose owner Murray Bain hails from Longniddry, has been part of Cooper's entourage on four European tours to date.

Travelling from venue to venue on Cooper's tour bus in a custom-built heated container, Lady Macbeth has lapped up the adoration of audiences from Berlin to Barcelona while draped across the singer’s shoulders.

And she has only recently returned from yet another sojourn around the Continent, making her final appearance at the singer's last European tour date at London’s Hammersmith Apollo on June 27. The snake's star status as the focal point of the singer's stage act is a dream come true for Haddington-based Alice Cooper superfan Bill Crowe.

Mr. Crowe, 47, was secretary of the Scottish Herpetological Society between 1986 and 1996 and kept reptiles for many years before his wife Mary banned them from the family home. Read more.
