“Unfortunately I have a torn hamstring and damage to my hip”: Gilby Clarke to replace Orianthi (who was replacing Nita Strauss) on upcoming Alice Cooper dates

From left: Gilby Clarke plays a Gibson SG onstage, Orianthi plays her purple PRS signature model, Nita Strauss players her white Ibanez S-style, and Alice Cooper performs onstage. Clarke will now be touring guitarist for Alice Cooper for the rock icon's upcoming dates before Strauss returns to the fold later in the year.

In a last-minute plot twist, Gilby Clarke has been confirmed as touring guitarist in Alice Cooper’s band, and will be replacing Oranthi for a string of dates starting January 31.

The Godfather of Shock will be forgiven for placing Clarke under a shelter-in-place notice until the tour bus is fueled up and ready to go because finding someone to play electric guitar in Cooper’s touring band has been a cursed endeavor in recent months.
