Alice Cooper, 72, proves he's still the 'prince of darkness' as he
wows the crowd with energetic performance at the Fire Fight
Australia bushfire relief concert in Sydney

"Iconic performer Alice Cooper is known as 'the prince of darkness'.

And the celebrated rock star proved he still has the moves as he delivered an energetic performance at ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Sunday evening.

The 72-year-old - real name Vincent Damon Furnier - wowed the crowd at the Fire Fight Australia bushfire relief concert.

Alice went through a costume change - first taking to the stage in a red ringmaster's jacket with black tassels and a number of medals as adornments.

He paired it with a white puff shirt and a number of necklaces, as well as three black belts with chunky buckles, including a giant skull.

The American singer, who is in town for his Ol' Black Eyes Is Back tour, carried the black cane he's known for, with leather pants completing the Gothic look.

He wore his classic makeup, with his eyes blacked out and dark lines on either side for a horror movie effect.

Alice, who sang a number of his classic hits including Poison, with gusto, then changed into a white jacket with an Australian flag on the back.

He switched over to a white cane and a matching white top hat, pointing at jubilant fans in the crowd.

The event featured artists including 5 Seconds of Summer, Olivia Newton-John, Michael Buble, Conrad Sewell, Daryl Braithwaite, Delta Goodrem, Illy, Grinspoon, Guy Sebastian, Hilltop Hoods and k.d. lang.

Comedian Celeste Barber, whose Facebook fundraiser has now raised more than $50million for bushfire victims, is hosting the event.

Less than 24 hours after they were released, promoters TEG Dainty confirmed that all 70,000 tickets, which cost between $70 and $100, were sold out.

Ticket profits will go to several organisations assisting those affected by the recent bushfires including fire services, Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery, and the RSPCA Bushfire Appeal."
