Dee Snider Dismisses “Deathbed” Rumors After Resigning from Twisted Sister

Dee Snider is pushing back against online rumors about his health.

The singer addressed speculation during a recent update connected to his long-running radio show, House of Hair. Responding directly to claims that he was seriously ill, Snider told fans he is “not dying,” adding his usual dark humor to make the point clear.

The confusion appears to have grown after recent comments about stepping away from physically demanding performances. Snider, now 70, has been open about the realities of aging in rock music. He has said in multiple interviews that he refuses to perform if he cannot deliver at the level fans expect.

Twisted Sister officially concluded its farewell tour in 2016. The band has not operated as a full-time touring act since then. There is no confirmed large-scale 50th-anniversary world tour currently underway.

Twisted Sister formed in the early 1970s and became one of the defining hard rock acts of the 1980s, known for anthems like “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” Their final run of shows a decade ago was promoted as a definitive goodbye.

Snider has continued working across other projects. He remains active as a radio host, filmmaker, writer, and public speaker. While he acknowledges that age changes what he can do onstage, he has not announced any life-threatening diagnosis.

For now, the message from Snider is simple: he is not on his “deathbed,” and fans should not believe every rumor that circulates online.
