One of Alice Cooper‘s most notable and longest relationships of his career was with Cindy Lang, which began in 1967. The rocker revealed in his memoir that Lang had an abortion early on when they weren’t ready to be parents.
In his new memoir, Devil on My Shoulder, Cooper revealed that the two had only been dating for a year when she got pregnant. They met during the rise of the rock scene in Detroit, Michigan, while out having drinks, and he was “smitten” the moment he met her.
The “School’s Out” singer remembers his parents not being pleased with his relationship. More importantly, they weren’t happy that Cooper was “sleeping with her out of wedlock.” When it came to Lang being pregnant, it wasn’t the end of the world, as Cooper described, but it wasn’t ideal.
“They let her crash on the living room sofa, and she and I had to grab whatever intimate time we could whenever we could,” Cooper wrote. “Then she got pregnant. Could things have gotten any worse? I don’t know if my parents knew, although it wouldn’t have been the end of the world if they did.”
Both Cooper and Lang were scared of finding out if she really was pregnant, and instead, his sister was the one to find out the results. Neither of them was ready to become parents, and Cooper explained in his memoir the reality of abortion in relation to his religious upbringing.
Cooper’s parents raised the rocker as part of the Church of Jesus Christ, also known as the Bickertonite Church, a denomination within the Latter-day Saint movement. He explained that they considered it a “serious sin,” but handled it in a “pastoral” way rather than “political.”
“It has never engaged in public anti-abortion activism, treating it instead as a private moral issue between the individual and God, and requiring repentance and spiritual counseling rather than excommunication,” wrote the rocker.

He also admitted that he “never took any responsibility,” but he did worry if the baby was his. The “No More Mr. Nice Guy” revealed that Lang was “far from being a Goody Two- Shoes” and was allegedly “sleeping around.” He makes clear it’s not an accusation, as he too wasn’t monogamous or a saint at the time.
“I told myself there was only a one‑in‑five chance I was the dad,” wrote Cooper.
Lang ultimately decided to have an abortion, as Cooper explained it wasn’t the right time for them. Cooper wrote that he and the band weren’t making enough to pay for the expensive procedure at the time, and Lang “scraped money together” to get it done in Detroit. He felt guilty and terrible that he couldn’t “afford to buy her a plane ticket to get there.”
The two were together for six years, until 1975. He would later marry Sheryl Goddard in 1976, and Lang died in 2017.
