Rocker Dee Snider Says I’m Not Dying!

 Dee Snider has put rumors of his imminent death to rest: "I'm not dying." In the aftermath of Twisted Sister's canceled 50th anniversary tour.

Snider said that health issues would keep him from performing at 100%, and rather than give fans an abridged version of their once trademark live show, he and the band decided to call it a day.

On his long-running “House Of Hair” syndicated radio show, Snider provided an update to his health and says that although he won’t be active on stage, he’ll be staying busy with plenty of other projects.

 “Hey, everybody. It’s me, Dee Snider, and I’m not dying,” he explained. “No, not never — I mean, we’re all dying, but not immediately.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 twenties, thirties, forties, fifties and even sixties. All right? Otherwise, I’m alive and well.

Snider added that he’ll continue to host his radio show, write, and direct but he won’t be hitting the road anytime soon.
