Alice Cooper wants to help.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left us all confused, frustrated and at home, seeking new methods of entertainment. The shock-rock icon wants to be a beacon of hope during these tough times, and that desire led to his uplifting new song, “Don’t Give Up,” with a music video featuring contributions from Alice Cooper fans all around the world:

In addition to that, Cooper now has his own “Pandemic Playlist” up on Spotify, featuring a curated selection of songs from the man himself:

I know you’re all looking for something to help take your mind off things. Here’s a @Spotify playlist of songs that are helping me get through this. I hope it does the same for you.

The list of acts featured in the playlist include The Who, Eurythmics, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, the Hollies, the Knack, the Doors, Jeff Beck, the Struts and many more. It’ll take you a little more than an hour to listen to it all:
