As live concerts and events continue to be announced for the area, the Appalachian Wireless Arena on May 17 announced two legendary rockers will appear at the venue this fall..
According to a statement from the arena, Alice Cooper and Ace Frehley will perform in Pikeville on Oct. 5 as part of their national tour.
According to the statement, Cooper, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, usually spends up to six months a year on the road, bringing his iconic brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock rock, Cooper (in both the original Alice Cooper band and as a solo artist) has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn, like a great horror movie. Alice Cooper concerts remain a ânot-to-be-missedâ attraction, the statement said.

A Pikeville man was arrested on several charges recently after allegedly leading Kentucky State Police on a vehicle chase before hitting a trooperâs cruiser, then fleeing on foot.
According to an arrest citation written by Trooper Braxton Whitmore, at approximately 10 p.m. on May 13, he was on patrol in the Millard community when he observed a 2001 Toyota Tacoma with expired registration. Whitmore wrote that the driver, later identified as Jimmy Norman, 44, of Road Fork, Pikeville, was not wearing a seat belt, and the trooper attempted to make a traffic stop.
Norman, the citation said, continued to flee on U.S. 460, driving toward U.S. 23 at speeds reaching 90 mph. Norman, the citation said, eventually entered the parking lot of the Shelbiana Food City, circled the parking lot without regard to the people in the parking lot and exited the parking lot.
