"I'm not dying! he shared on the latest episode of The House of Hair radio show. No, not never; I mean, we're all dying, but not immediately. The band, known for the 1980s hard rock headbangers We're Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock, announced on Feb. 5 that shows scheduled between April 25 in Sao Paulo and through the summer were scrapped following the sudden and unexpected resignation of Snider."
"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 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and even 60s. Alright? Otherwise I'm alive and well. I'm enjoying life, Snider explained on Saturday."
Dee Snider, 70, permanently departed Twisted Sister after fifty years because ongoing health issues, including degenerative arthritis and heart problems, made touring and aggressive performing untenable. Shows scheduled from April 25 in Sao Paulo through the summer were canceled following the resignation. Snider refused to perform in a diminished, less physical role because he did not want fans to see him as a shadow of his former self. Rumors that he was on his deathbed were rejected; he affirmed that he is alive and enjoying life, though he can no longer perform as he did in earlier decades. He added that slowing down felt preferable to continuing in a way that would mess him up physically.
