Twisted Sister have canceled their 50th anniversary shows after frontman Dee Snider resigned from the heavy metal band due to “health challenges.”

Announcing the news on social media, bandmates Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda said, “Due to the sudden and unexpected resignation of Twisted Sister’s lead singer Dee Snider brought on by a series of health challenges, the band has been forced to cancel all shows scheduled, beginning April 25th in Sao Paulo Brazil and continuing through the summer”.

“The future of Twisted Sister will be determined in the next several weeks,” they added.

In a separate statement, Snider revealed that he has been suffering from degenerative arthritis.

“A lifetime of legendarily aggressive performing has taken its toll on Dee Snider’s body and soul. Unbeknownst to the public (until now) Snider (70) suffers from degenerative arthritis and has had several surgeries over the years just to keep going, able to only perform a few songs at a time in pain,” the statement said. “Adding insult to injury, Dee has recently found out the level of intensity he has dedicated to his life’s work has taken its toll on his heart as well. He can no longer push the boundaries of rock ‘n’ roll fury like he has done for decades”

Snider added, “I don’t know of any other way to rock. The idea of slowing down is unacceptable to me. I’d rather walk away than be a shadow of my former self.”

Twisted Sister had announced last year that they planned to return to the road for a limited number of shows, which were scheduled to kick off in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo on April 25.

The track, a part of their 1979 album, Dynasty, was written by band member Paul Stanley, songwriter Desmond Child and producer Vini Poncia.

“I Was Made For Lovin’ You” peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the Canada Top Singles chart. In July 2024, the song also hit the 1 billion streams milestone on Spotify.

Peter Gabriel recently shared “Put The Bucket Down,” the second track from his forthcoming album, o\i.

Written and produced by Gabriel, the first version to be heard is the Bright-Side Mix by Mark “Spike” Stent. Tomas Saraceno created artwork for “Put The Bucket Down.”

“As a side project, I am working on a show with the brain as the central core and there are a number of songs, some on i/o and some on o\i that will be part of that,” Gabriel said. “This is one of those and it’s a point in the narrative where we can both read and write thoughts and the person singing is not sure whether he has his own thoughts or not. Is he inside his own mind or inside someone else’s?”

He added, “I started building rhythmic elements around what I call a lop-sided loop and got quite excited. When we had the band play it, it really came to life so that feels good for me. The band and me working away is the bulk of the song, but when we were in the orchestral sessions I asked John Metcalfe to come up with a part – it was scribbled out on the day in the studio – which is ridiculously simple, but it serves the song nicely.”

“We’re also blessed with horn players. I was very lucky on the last record to play with Paolo Fresu and then Josh Shpak on the tour and they’ve both done a version of the instrumental melody on this too.”

Tchad Blake’s Dark-Side Mix of “Put the Bucket Down” will be released later this month.
