No dates have yet been announced, but hey \u2013 <strong>Twisted Sister<\/strong> in 2026 is a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the shows, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reels\/DVb1NsWkbAA\/\"><strong>Twisted Sister<\/strong> stated<\/a>: &#034;<strong>Twisted Sister<\/strong> members <strong>Jay Jay French<\/strong> and<strong> Eddie Ojeda<\/strong> are thrilled to announce that iconic vocalist and front man <strong>Sebastian Bach<\/strong> will be fronting the band for a handful of select dates this fall. These appearances do not affect or conflict with <strong>Sebastian<\/strong>&#039;s current or future solo touring schedule, which remains fully intact.&#034;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On February 5, <strong>Twisted Sister<\/strong> scrapped its planned 2026 reunion shows after singer Dee Snider resigned due to health issues. The band cited his &#034;sudden and unexpected resignation&#034; and canceled all dates from April through early summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Snider<\/strong> later revealed he has been battling degenerative arthritis and has undergone multiple surgeries in recent years. He also disclosed that the physical toll of decades of high-intensity performances has affected his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#034;The idea of slowing down is unacceptable to me. I&#039;d rather walk away than be a shadow of my former self,&#034; <strong>Snider<\/strong> stated, referencing the famous line from <em>Dirty Harry<\/em>: &#034;A man&#039;s got to know his limitations.&#034;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The now-canceled 2026 reunion was set to feature <strong>Snider<\/strong> alongside <strong>French<\/strong> and <strong>Ojeda<\/strong>. Bassist <strong>Mark Mendoza<\/strong> was not scheduled to participate, with <strong>Russell Pz\u00fctto<\/strong> stepping in. Drummer <strong>Joe Franco<\/strong> was to replace the late <strong>A.J. Pero<\/strong>, who passed away in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>French<\/strong> and <strong>Ojeda<\/strong> have indicated they will evaluate the future of the band in the coming weeks. For now, fans can expect to see <strong>Sebastian Bach<\/strong> stepping into one of hard rock&#039;s most iconic roles for select appearances this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda tap former Skid Row singer following Dee Snider&#039;s resignation due to health
