Twisted Sister Halts Reunion Tour Over Snider’s Health Concerns
Twisted Sister has officially canceled their planned 2026 reunion tour due to health concerns regarding lead singer Dee Snider. The announcement was made via two statements on the band’s official Facebook page.
Health Concerns Lead to Tour Cancellation
The band had initially announced their comeback in September 2025, nearly a decade after concluding their farewell tour in November 2016. Snider expressed excitement about touring again, reflecting on the band’s enduring appeal. However, recent health developments have necessitated a change in plans.
Details on Dee Snider’s Health
Dee Snider, who is now 70 years old, has been struggling with degenerative arthritis and has undergone multiple surgeries in recent years. In their statement, the band revealed that these conditions have made it increasingly difficult for Snider to perform at the intensity he is known for.
- Scheduled Tour Start: April 25, 2026
- First Concert Location: São Paulo, Brazil
- Health Issues: Degenerative arthritis, heart concerns
Snider remarked that he has always dedicated himself to his craft, but now understands the physical limitations that come with age. “I’d rather walk away than be a shadow of my former self,” he stated. This sincere reflection on his health exemplifies the difficult decision the band faced.
Future of Twisted Sister
The future of Twisted Sister remains uncertain as they decide their next steps following this cancellation. The band has promised to keep fans updated on any developments. Despite the disappointment, the health and well-being of the band members are a priority.
Twisted Sister’s legacy in rock music is well-established, and while this reunion tour was eagerly anticipated, the importance of health must take precedence. Fans can continue to follow updates on Filmogaz.com for more news regarding their favorite band.
