Tim Rice and Alice Cooper have a history, with the singer playing Herod in the 1996 London cast recording of Jesus Christ Superstar, the hit rock opera from Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
He later reprised the role in the 2018 live TV performance Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, which featured John Legend as Jesus Christ and Sara Bareilles as Mary Magdalene.
