“I’m so fortunate to always have such great musicians to work with”: Orianthi will re-join Alice Cooper’s band on tour as a fill-in for her successor, Nita Strauss

Back in 2022, Ibanez-wielding electric guitar virtuoso Nita Strauss left Alice Cooper’s band after eight years with the shock-rock titan.

Though Strauss’s future with Cooper was uncertain at the time – it was announced just days after her departure from the Cooper fold that she would be joining pop star Demi Lovato’s live band – Strauss would join Cooper onstage for a one-off encore just three months after her departure, and subsequently re-join his band full-time the following year.
