Alice Cooper has held his annual Christmas pudding charity fundraiser concert over the weekend.
The concert, now in its 20th year, was held in Arizona on Saturday night (December 3) and took place at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix.
Cooper was joined on stage at the event by Sammy Hagar, Rob Zombie, Wayne Nelson, and Wally Palmar, as well as his own family.
Ahead of the concert, Cooper said: “We are excited to be celebrating our 20th year with a stellar lineup of talent who dedicate their time and passion to help us raise funds for our Rock Teen Centers.
“We are grateful to everyone who continues to make this one of the finest shows in the Valley and promise another memorable evening of music and mayhem!”
Reports suggest that the event raised over $1million (£816,000) to benefit Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Centers in the US. Solid Rock provide “a landing place for all teens…[a] local sanctuary…provided to support an exciting and creative journey for teens,” according to their website.

Had a great time last night at Alice Cooper's Christmas Pudding, an annual show he puts on here benefiting a local arts program for kids and teens. Also got to see Rob Zombie, The Gin Blossoms, and a few other groups.
