Summary
- Dee Snider resigned from Twisted Sister due to health challenges.
- The band canceled all 50th anniversary shows and future plans.
- Snider suffers from degenerative arthritis and heart issues.
Twisted Sister's frontman, Dee Snider, has unexpectedly resigned from the band, citing a series of health challenges. This abrupt departure has led to the cancellation of all the group's planned 50th anniversary concerts, which were scheduled to begin on April 25th in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The band's future is now under review and will be decided in the upcoming weeks.
Snider, 70, has been dealing with degenerative arthritis, which has necessitated multiple surgeries. Additionally, his heart has been affected by years of rigorous touring and performing. The band acknowledged that Snider can no longer perform with the same intensity as he has for decades, stating his desire to walk away rather than be a shadow of his former self.
Twisted Sister achieved significant success in the 1980s, with their hit song "We're Not Gonna Take It" reaching No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their album "Stay Hungry" peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200. Other notable songs include "I Wanna Rock" and their cover of "Leader Of The Pack."
