Dee Snider, the former Twisted Sister frontman, recently told his fans a major life update and revealed on Instagram that he broke his shoulder.
“The toughest thing about the break, besides the discomfort, pain, the annoyance of wearing the sling, [is that] sleeping’s a [explicit] if it’s the hand you favor. I’m a righty; broke my right shoulder,” the 71-year-old musician explained.
He started the video talking about how he was playing basketball with his adult kids, where he got knocked over and “went down like a ton of bricks.”
“Slammed my whole right side,” he continued and joked, “I could’ve sworn out of the corner of my eye I saw one of my sons doing a victory dance.”
Snider shares four kids with his wife, Suzette — Jesse, Shane, Cody and Cheyenne — all born between 1982 and 1996.

“They’re laughing, they’re having fun with us, but the fact is we are these larger-than-life individuals,” Snider advises. “There will come a time they are our size or bigger than we are. They will dominate us. This will be their revenge. Whether it’s conscious or subconscious, they’re out to get even with us and watch us laying on the floor, writhing in pain.”

The legendary frontman continued on, saying that his recovery includes being in a sling for eight weeks and going to physical therapy. Afterward, he will go in for surgery.
Despite the scary update, he told his fans not to worry about him.
“Don’t cry for me, Argentina. Other than that, I’m doing great, all things considered. It’s just a real pain in the [explicit], aka shoulder,” he concluded.

With his unmistakable look and larger-than-life stage presence, Snider helped make Twisted Sister’s anthems, including “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock,” staples of the 1980s rock scene.
Twisted Sister was formed in 1972 by Jay Jay French, Eddie “Fingers” Ojeda, Mark “The Animal” Mendoza, AJ Pedro and Snider in New Jersey. They have released seven studio albums, with their most recent being a Christmas album in 2006.
Beyond music, Snider became known as an outspoken personality and advocate for musicians’ rights, while also working in radio, television, film and as a solo artist. Twisted Sister’s music and image have remained closely tied to ’80s rock culture, with the band eventually being inducted into the Metal Hall of Fame. In February 2026, Snider stepped down from Twisted Sister after five decades with the band, citing health challenges such as arthritis and heart strain, and has been living in North Carolina.
