Rumor: Alice Cooper tours Scandinavia with Iron Maiden

This is a bit of a far shot, but worth noticing. Alice Cooper is according to certain sources visiting both Oslo and Helsinki in the summer of 2011.

At the Roskilde forum it is also mentioned that Cooper will be playing with Iron maiden at these concerts.

So it's possible to add a couple of rumors and hope that Mr. Cooper will visit Roskilde for the first time ever in 2011.
