Twisted Sister have cancelled their reunion tour. Why? Well, frontman Dee Snider has reached his limits. Snider has had to suddenly and unexpectedly resign from Twister Sister due to physical and mental strain. According to a statement shared via Twister Sister's social media, Snider 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 intensity of performing has also taken a toll on his heart.

"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," Snider said.
