Dee Snider Denies Death Rumors After Twisted Sister Tour Cancellation

Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider assured fans he is not dying after rumors spread following the band's canceled 50th anniversary tour. "I'm not dying! No, not never; I mean, we're all dying, but not immediately," the 70-year-old singer said on his House of Hair radio show. Snider left Twisted Sister last week due to his ongoing health issues including heart problems and degenerative arthritis, which led to the band cancelling their tour plans. "I just can't do those things that I did in my 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and even 60s," Snider explained. The 2026 reunion tour would have featured core members Snider, Jay Jay French, and Eddie Ojeda in their first shows since 2016. Snider rejected the idea of performing while seated, saying "I don't want you to see me up there being less than you expect me to be." He will continue hosting his radio show, along with plans to write and direct various projects.
