Shock rock singer Alice Cooper has admitted he lives with his mother!

But the "Welcome to My Nightmare" singer, 70, is happy with the odd arrangement because Ella Mae Furnier is a tiger mom and won't let anyone mess with her boy.

Cooper told The Observer, "My mother lives with me. She's a tiger. She's 95 and is my biggest fan. If you say anything bad about Alice Cooper, she'll be on top of you. I was lucky to get the parents I did."

Cooper also wrote, "The first thing I ever remember was my mother changing me at a bus stop. I was so embarrassed. Of course, I was 14 at the time. I jest. I was probably about two years old."

The "School's Out" singer, known for years of bizarre concert antics, such as being tied up in a mock straight jacket, is known for his candor, and he also took a shot at politicized musicians in his article.

Cooper noted, "I don't like to mix politics and rock'n'roll. I don't look at Bono, Sting and Bruce Springsteen as political. I look at them as being humanitarian. I'll contribute to anything humanitarian. Helping people who can't help themselves. But when musicians are telling people who to vote for, I think that's an abuse of power. You're telling your fans not to think for themselves, just to think like you. Rock'n'roll is about freedom – and that's not freedom."
