"In a statement posted Thursday on Instagram, the heavy metal band said all scheduled shows beginning April 25 in São Paulo and through the summer have been canceled "due to the sudden and unexpected resignation" of Snider. The "I Wanna Rock" singer is no longer able to perform in the way that he used to because of multiple heath issues."
"The separate statement regarding Snider's health explained that a "lifetime of legendarily aggressive performing has taken its toll on Dee Snider's body and soul." Also posted to the " We're Not Gonna Take It" singer's Instagram account, the statement said that Snider "has had several surgeries over the years" to help manage his degenerative arthritis. His condition meant he had only been able to "perform a few songs at a time in pain.""
Twisted Sister canceled all scheduled 50th anniversary performances after lead singer Dee Snider resigned because of a series of health challenges. Shows beginning April 25 in São Paulo and those through the summer were called off due to Snider's sudden resignation. Snider stated he cannot accept slowing down and would rather step away than be a diminished version of himself. Medical notes cite a lifetime of aggressive performing, multiple surgeries to manage degenerative arthritis that limited him to a few songs at a time in pain, and recent heart problems that prevent sustained high‑intensity performance. The band's future will be decided in the coming weeks.
