Dee Snider, aged 70, has faced significant health challenges, including degenerative arthritis. His condition has required multiple surgeries over the years, making it increasingly difficult for him to perform. Recently, it was revealed that his health issues now affect his heart.

Snider expressed his discontent with having to step back from performing. “I don’t know of any other way to rock,” he stated. He emphasized that he prefers to leave the stage rather than diminish his legacy.
