Rockstar Alice Cooper has his credit card back, thanks to one quick-thinking fan.
“What would you do if you found a lost credit card?” an anchor of Arizona’s 12 News asked. “The right thing, of course, is to find the owner — but if the owner of that credit card is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?”
Jeff Guy was at an Arizona gas station when he noticed a credit card was still in the card reader on the gas pump — a card that belonged to Cooper.
“It’s one of those things — you know, if I found the card, I would say, ‘I don’t know how to get this to the right person,’” the rocker joked to 12 News.
While Guy didn’t know how to get in touch with Cooper himself, he did know some people who might: the employees at Cooper’s Phoenix teen center. They got Guy and Cooper in touch, and Guy returned the credit card to the musician.
“The guy’s a legend for people of my generation,” Guy told 12 News. “I’m really glad that I could help get it back to him.”

Cooper has been a rock legend for decades, and he’s preparing to share his story in the upcoming memoir Devil on My Shoulder. The book will explore how Cooper — real name: Vincent Furnier — developed his onstage persona and the differences between the two.
“I’ve written this book to track Alice’s ‘evilution,’ and how I’ve tamed him at last,” Cooper said in a statement about the book. “Just as he and I became almost fatally intertwined, the story of Alice Cooper after over 30 records and 60-plus years has become a tangle of embellishments, elaborations and outright fabrications, and I think it’s time to sort reality from myth.”
He continued, “And I want to talk about God. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna bang you on the head with a Bible, I just want to describe how it is that I found Him dwelling in me. Alice, that inveterate liar, was a voice in my ear for so long, whispering lies and sweet nothings, pretending to be my better conscience and my inspiration, pretending to be me, that I think it’s only right to present both sides of the story: the angel on one shoulder, the devil on the other.”
Cooper has previously spoken about his strong Christian faith and how it helped him overcome his battle with substance abuse.
“I never went to AA,” he told Page Six. “Everyone said, ‘Oh you have such great willpower,’ I said, ‘No, God has great willpower. He took it from me.’ My dad was a pastor, my grandad was a pastor, Sheryl’s dad was a pastor. I had such strong prayer for me. Even the doctor said, ‘This is an absolute miracle.’ I said, ‘Why?’ They said, ‘Well, you should be hiding bottles all over the house and you should be sneaking drugs.’ I said, ‘I have absolutely no desire for that at all.’”
Devil on My Shoulder: A Memoir is due out Oct. 6.
