Meanwhile, the Planet Rock DJ and his band were inducted into the Cleveland-based Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on Monday alongside other music stars, including Tom Waits and Neil Diamond.
Alice wore a blood-splattered shirt and also brought school children along to sing School's Out. He said: "We've always been a hard rock band. We just wanted to decorate it a little differently."
