A little more than a week after the famous rock group Twisted Sister canceled its planned 50th-anniversary concerts, frontman Dee Snider has denied claims that he is dying, as per Blabbermouth. Following Snider’s resignation, Twisted Sister stated on February 5 that it would not be performing scheduled 2026 reunion gigs because to health concerns. According to the band’s social media message, Dee’s “sudden and unexpected resignation” compelled them to postpone all of their April through early summer gigs. Snyder posted a video to his long-running “House Of Hair” radio show’s Facebook page on Saturday, February 14.
Hey, everybody. It’s me, Dee Snider, and I’m not dying. No, not never — I mean, we’re all dying, but not immediately. My announcement about canceling the tour for health reasons, problems with my heart, arthritis, things like that, the rumors have run wild that I am on my deathbed. I am not. I just can’t do those things that I did in my twenties, thirties, forties, fifties and even sixties. All right? Otherwise, I’m alive and well. I’m enjoying life. I’m here for the ‘House Of Hair’. I’m directing a movie. I’ll be writing things. You won’t see me on the stage kicking ass like I used to because that will mess me up.
[Someone] just told me, ‘Hey, man, could you just go out on stage and lay back?’ No, I can’t do that. That’s not who I am. Look, I can barely do that on the ‘House Of Hair’. So, I had to pull out of Twisted Sister. I had to cancel a tour. My apologies for that. And thank you for all the love and care and worry and all that stuff. It was crazy. I mean, the amount of people, the outpouring was beautiful. Thank you very much for cheering me on.
I’m okay. I just can’t do that anymore, and you know what? Truth of the matter is, I don’t want you to see me up there being less than you expect me to be. If you got memories of a great show that I did, that’s what I wanna leave you with, not me standing up there like Willie Nelson. Nothing wrong with Willie — 95 years old in a wheelchair — but you know what I’m saying. I went out rocking. I’m still rocking here. I ain’t stopping. I got a lot of life to live. My dad’s 95 and still kicking, so I’m expecting to be around for a long time, which means the ‘House Of Hair’ will go on forever. All right. Don’t worry about old Dee. Thank you.
