"It is with extreme sadness that we need to inform the community of Alice Cooper fans of the passing of Brian "Renfield" Nelson, Alice's long-time archivist and personal assistant.  It was a sudden, completely unexpected, and untimely passing.   We would appreciate it if you would keep him in your thoughts, appreciate his many contributions to Alice's life and career over the years, and respect Brian's privacy and the privacy of Alice and his extended family (at home and on tour) at this time. 

Alice is currently on tour in Russia, because the show must go on, which is as Brian would have wanted it.
