PHOENIX (AP) – The new thrift store in Phoenix has a sweet name: Alice’s Attic.

The “Alice” behind it happens to be Alice Cooper.

The Arizona Republic reports Cooper held a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week for the store.

It’s in the same building as his Rock Teen Center, which helps at-risk kids learn music.

Cooper says he’s a shopaholic who sometimes comes home from tour with 10 suitcases full of clothes. Some of the items for sale in the store are items Cooper wore.

Part of the proceeds benefit the youth center, and Cooper plans to teach kids how to work in the store.

NEW YORK (AP) – Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason says their upcoming record is a tribute to keyboardist Rick Wright.

He says “The Endless River” is a good way of seeing how Wright’s playing was at the heart of the Pink Floyd sound.

Pink Floyd revealed the cover art on buildings in 10 cities, including New York and Los Angeles.

It shows a man rowing a boat through clouds.

The album features tracks that were originally part of the 1993 “Division Bell” sessions, with new and re-recorded parts.

“The Endless River” comes out November 10. Wright died in 2008.

Jimi Hendrix fans can now take a selfie with the guitar god — in wax-statue form, that is.

A wax likeness of the legendary musician was unveiled Friday by his brother Leon Hendrix at Madame Tussauds San Francisco. 

The ceremony coincided with Jimi Hendrix Day, honoring the 44th anniversary of his death, which occurred September 18, 1970.

A team of 20 artists worked for more than three months to create the lifelike figure, with painstaking detail to Hendrix’s guitar. 

The figure got a thumb’s up from Hendrix’s brother, who praised the museum’s work.

“The representation and detail of his figure is uncanny,” he said.  “It’s an honor to see him immortalized in this fashion.”

Madame Tussauds San Francisco is in the city’s Fisherman’s Wharf district.

Just in time for Halloween, Alice Cooper’s 2013 appearance at the the Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany, is ready to be unleashed.

Raise the Dead — Live from Wacken is set for an Oct. 21 release on CD and DVD by UDR-Home of Legends.

The full concert features 22 songs, including covers of “Break on Through” by The Doors, “My Generation” by The Who, and “Another Brick in the Wall” by Pink Floyd.

The CD/DVD also includes an interview with Cooper, who describes his show as being akin to a Broadway show divided into three acts: Alice Glam, Alice Dark, and Raise the Dead.

“If you are going to say ‘Welcome to My Nightmare,’ give them the nightmare,” he says to the camera. “Don’t just say it. Give it to them.”

A portion of the proceeds from sales of Raise the Dead — Live from Wacken will benefit the Wacken Foundation, which supports the growth of new rock and heavy metal bands.

It isn’t often KISS goes without makeup for a live show these days, but the band made an exception, playing an acoustic gig to raise money for a military museum in Oregon.

The group previously has supported the Historical Outreach Foundation in its goal of raising $15 million to renovate the Oregon Military Museum, but the foundation’s event this past Sunday in Lake Oswego, Oregon, marked the first time the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers performed at one of the foundation’s events.

In all, KISS helped raise $1 million toward the endeavor. Tickets to the evening cost $2,500. The evening also auctioned off one of Paul Stanley’s guitars, which he has played since 1989, for $20,000, reports The Oregonian.

KISS guitarist and native Oregonian Tommy Thayer is the link to the project. The museum will be named after Thayer’s father, Brigadier General James B. Thayer, a 93-year-old World War II veteran who freed Holocaust survivors from the Nazi concentration camps in 1945.

KISS bassist Gene Simmons told The Oregonian that museums are important to support for several reasons.

“A museum is a living history book, because young people today and the future generations can’t just read books or watch it on video because it’s unemotional,” Simmons said.

He continued that honoring the military with a museum shining a light on men and women in uniform is relevant to understanding current events.

“There is evil in the world,” he said. “People are being beheaded today, not in some medieval time.”

Check out the set list from the show below:

“Comin’ Home”
“Hard Luck Woman”
“Calling Dr. Love”
“Do You Love Me?”
“Plaster Caster”
“Shout It Out Loud”
“Got to Choose”
“Christine Sixteen”
“Lick It Up”
“Goin’ Blind”
“Love Her All I Can”
“Hide Your Heart”
“Beth”
“Rock and Roll All Nite”
