Afflecks Palace traders in shock as Alice Cooper rocks up to buy a t-shirt for Johnny Depp
Traders at Manchester institution Afflecks Palace were in shock over the weekend, after a visit from rock and roll royalty. The legendary singer Alice Cooper was spotted exploring the stalls and shops at the iconic multi-floor indie market on Saturday, ahead of an appearance at the AO Arena this week.
However, when told they were out of his size, he decided to buy shirts as gifts for Depp and some of his crew instead, spending just over £100 during the visit, and posing for pictures with fans. “He spotted this pair of shorts with ‘All My Friends Are Dead’ on them, and he wanted them in a certain size, which we didn’t have. So he asked for the same slogan on a t-shirt design.”
“They asked ‘what size would he be?’ And I said ‘don’t ask me, I haven’t got a clue!’ He stuck around and had a chat while I was printing it, and was asking me all about the brand and how it started. He just acted like a normal customer. “It was his idea to get a photo with the t-shirt, and once I’d printed them up, a few fans had started to gather, and he just turned around, struck a pose and said ‘come on, photo time’, and spent the rest of time taking photos and chatting to people.”
