重金属乐队”扭曲姐妹”(Twisted Sister)周五取消了其成立50周年重聚演出，此前主唱迪·斯奈德(Dee Snider)因健康问题辞职。
乐队在社交媒体上发文称，斯奈德的”突然且意外的辞职”迫使他们取消了从4月开始到夏季初的所有演出。
“扭曲姐妹的未来将在未来几周内确定，”乐队表示。

斯奈德在一份声明中表示，70岁的他发现自己的身体”再也无法像过去几十年那样推动摇滚狂怒的极限”。他写道，自己患有退行性关节炎，多年来接受过多次手术，但无论采取何种干预措施，演出几首歌后他都会感到疼痛。
他表示，自己不想在舞台上放慢节奏，但他清楚认识到自己的身体极限。
“扭曲姐妹”因1984年的热门单曲《We’re Not Gonna Take It》(《我们不会屈服》)和《I Wanna Rock》(《我想摇滚》)以及随后在MTV上大量播放的音乐视频而闻名。《We’re Not Gonna Take It》是乐队唯一一首进入前40名的歌曲，多年来已演变为一首政治国歌。
前众议院议长保罗·瑞安(Paul Ryan)在2012年米特·罗姆尼(Mitt Romney)竞选搭档时，曾在竞选活动中使用这首歌，直到斯奈德制止了这种行为。2015年特朗普总统首次竞选时，也在集会结束后将这首歌用作退场音乐。
重聚巡演的核心阵容包括斯奈德、长期合作的吉他手杰伊·杰伊·弗伦奇(Jay Jay French)和埃迪·奥杰达(Eddie Ojeda)、鼓手乔·弗朗哥(Joe Franco)以及贝斯手罗素·普祖托(Russell Pzutto)。

Heavy metal band Twisted Sister canceled its 50th anniversary reunion shows on Friday after lead singer Dee Snider resigned, citing health issues.
The band posted on social media saying the “sudden and unexpected resignation” of Snider has forced them to cancel all shows starting from April through the beginning of the summer.
“The future of Twisted Sister will be determined in the next several weeks,” the band said.

Snider said in a statement that at 70 years old, he’s found his body can “no longer push the boundaries of rock and roll fury,” as it had for decades. He wrote that he suffers from degenerative arthritis and has had several surgeries over the years, but regardless of the intervention, Snider said he is in pain after performing only a few songs.
He said he doesn’t want to slow down while on stage, but he recognizes his own limitations.
Twisted Sister is best known for the 1984 hit singles”We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock,” and the MTV videos accompanying each that were heavily played. “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” was Twisted Sister’s sole Top 40 hit and has morphed into a political anthem throughout the years.
Former House Speaker Paul Ryan usedthe song in 2012 for campaign stops when he was Mitt Romney’s running mate until Snider put a stop to it. During President Trump’s first run for office in 2015, he used the song as exit music after rallies.
The band’s core lineup for the reunion tour included Snider, longtime guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda, drummer Joe Franco and bassist Russell Pzutto.
