Dee Snider Declares He’s Not Dying After Exiting Twisted Sister and Nixing Reunion Tour

The 70-year-old cites health limits that prevent him from delivering his usual high-energy show.

Overview

  • On his House of Hair radio show, Snider told fans he is alive and well and rejected rumors that he is near death.
  • He said he resigned from Twisted Sister and canceled the band’s 2026 reunion shows a week after the tour was first scrapped.
  • Twisted Sister had previously canceled its 50th‑anniversary run due to Snider’s health, with the trek originally set to open April 25 in São Paulo, Brazil.
  • Snider has described degenerative shoulder arthritis, high blood pressure, and a recent hip replacement that leave him unable to perform as before.
  • He dismissed suggestions to perform seated, saying he won’t appear “less than you expect,” and he plans to continue radio hosting, writing, and directing.
