Why Is Twisted Sister Touring With Sebastian Bach?<\/p>\n

Twisted Sister\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0last\u00a0September that they were reuniting for a 50th anniversary tour in 2026, 10 years after they retired from the road. But they\u00a0scrapped those plans<\/a>\u00a0last month due to Snider’s apparent “health challenges,” which prompted his “sudden and unexpected resignation” from the band.<\/p>\n

Longtime Twisted Sister guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda revealed in March that they would be hitting the road in 2026 after all, but with Bach behind the microphone instead of Snider.<\/p>\n

“Twisted Sister members Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda are thrilled to announce that iconic vocalist and frontman Sebastian Bach will be fronting the band for a handful of select dates this fall,” they said in a statement. “These appearances do not affect or conflict with Sebastian\u2019s current or future solo touring schedule, which remains fully intact.”<\/p>\n

The 2026 Twisted Sister touring lineup will be rounded out by bassist Russell Pzutto, who played in Snider’s solo band, and former Ace Frehley<\/a> drummer\u00a0Joey Cassata.<\/p>\n

Bach, a\u00a0lifelong fan of Twisted Sister, expressed his excitement in a social media post<\/a> shortly after the announcement. “I am in shock! I am the lead singer of Twisted Sister,” he wrote. “I keep saying that over and over to myself and anybody else who will listen today. I am absolutely honored and overjoyed to pay tribute to the legacy of some of my favorite music and musicians of my whole life!”<\/p>\n

The singer has made his excitement clear by covering<\/a> Twisted Sister’s “I Wanna Rock” during recent solo shows.<\/p>\n
