Former ALICE COOPER guitarist Nita Strauss has officially joined singer Demi Lovato‘s touring band.

Nita made her live debut with Demi Lovato on Thursday night (July 14) with a performance of the singer’s new single, “Substance” on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!“. You can check out the footage of the appearance below.

Demi Lovato is set to head out on the road in September in support of her latest studio album, “Holy Fvck“, which arrives on August 19 via Island Records. Support on the run will come from DEAD SARA and ROYAL & THE SERPENT.

The tour launches September 22 in Wheatland, California and runs through November 6 in Irving, Texas. Before that, Demi will make appearances at the Illinois State Fair on August 13 and Iowa State Fair on August 14. She also has a seven-date South American run scheduled for late August and early September.

The follow-up to last year’s “Dancing With The Devil…The Art Of Starting Over“, “Holy Fvck” is supposed to be a re-invention of Lovato’s sound from mainstream pop to strait up rock.

On Monday (July 11), Nita Strauss announced that she would be sitting out of Alice Cooper’s fall 2022 tour. She has also cancelled the festival dates her solo band had planned for the rest of the year. Strauss said in a statement that her “touring year” was “still VERY full” and revealed that she was “on a flight straight into the next adventure,” adding cryptically that she would “be on stage again much sooner than you think.”
