The Day Elvis Asked Alice Cooper To Shoot Him In The Head!

Yeah, that headline got my attention too. In a recent inteview with The Mirror, Alice says years ago, the two wound up in the same Las Vegas hotel. Being a big fan of Elvis and kind of famous himself, he used his star power to get access to the king's penthouse so he could meet his childhood hero. That's when things got STRANGE...

Cooper tells The Mirror “He had the penthouse – this was when he was at the top of his game. I had always been a fan as a kid, so I jumped at the chance to go upstairs and meet him. When I got to the lift I found it was me, Liza Minnelli and the porn actress Linda Lovelace.”

Cooper says when he got to the suite, he was frisked by Presley's security gaurds.

“I don’t know why they bothered – when we got inside the place was full of guns,” Alice recalls.

“Elvis took me into the kitchen, opened a drawer, and pulled out a loaded pistol, telling me to put it to his head. I recognised it straight away, a snub .32. I didn’t know what to do.

“I had this gun in my hand and was expecting one of his security to come in any second, see me holding a weapon and shoot me dead.

“A little voice in my left ear was telling me, ‘Go on, this is history, kill him, you’ll always be the guy who killed Elvis’. In my other ear was another voice saying, ‘You can’t kill him, it’s Elvis Presley – wound him instead, you’ll only get a few years!’.

“A fraction of a second later Elvis did a flying kick on the gun, and sent it flying, before tripping me and pinning me to the ground by my neck, announcing, ‘that’s how you stop a man with a gun’.”

Um, wow. That's how old school playas from the Himalayas THREW DOWN.
