Twisted Sister has canceled their planned 50th anniversary reunion tour.

The trek, featuring original members Dee Snider, Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda, was supposed to begin in April but has been called off due to Snider’s health.

“Due to the sudden and unexpected resignation of Twisted Sister’s lead singer Dee Snider brought on by a series of health challenges, the band has been forced to cancel all shows,” Jay Jay and Eddie said in a statement. noting cancelations included the planned opening show April 25 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as well as all summer dates. “The future of Twisted Sister will be determined in the next several weeks.”

A separate statement detailed Snider’s health issues.

“A lifetime of legendarily aggressive performing has taken its toll on Dee Snider’s body and soul,” it read. “Unbeknownst to the public (until now) Snider (70) suffers from degenerative arthritis and has had several surgeries over the years just to keep going, able to only perform a few songs at a time in pain.”

“Adding insult to injury, Dee has recently found out the level of intensity he has dedicated to his life’s work has taken its toll on his heart as well,” the statement continued. “He can no longer push the boundaries of rock ‘n’ roll fury like he has done for decades.”

“I don’t know of any other way to rock,” Snider said, according to the statement. “The idea of slowing down is unacceptable to me. I’d rather walk away than be a shadow of my former self.”

“In the immortal words of Dirty Harry, ‘A man’s got to know his limitations.’ Sadly, Dee Snider now knows his,” the statement concluded.

The trek would have marked the first time Twisted Sister toured together since 2016.

Taylor Swift’s new video for “Opalite” has quite the star-studded cast, and it’s all because last year she appeared on the U.K. series The Graham Norton Show.

On the episode, Taylor was joined on Norton’s couch by Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy, actors Greta Lee, Domhnall Gleeson and Jodie Turner-Smith, and Lewis Capaldi. As Taylor explains on Instagram, “When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos. He’s Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea.*”

“And so a week later he received an email script I’d written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role,” she goes on to explain. 

“I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too. Like a school group project but for adults and it isn’t mandatory.”

In the hilarious video, which Taylor wrote and directed, she plays a lonely woman whose best friend is a rock, while Domhnall is a lonely guy who’s dating a cactus. But after they spray themselves with “Opalite” — the new product that “magically transforms your problems into paradise” — they fall in love.

The other stars from the Graham Norton episode pop up throughout the video, including Graham, whose attempt to sell them “Reverse Opalite,” is desperately blocked by Domhnall. 

At the end of the clip, we find out that the rock and the cactus got married, and then we see the actual clip of the Graham Norton Show episode where Domhnall made that joke — and Taylor suddenly looked inspired.

The “Opalite” video is now streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

As Luke Combs and his wife, Nicole Combs, welcome their third child, the country superstar says there’s only one word for their home life: “Chaotic!”

That’s largely because their housing situation isn’t at all what you’ve expect for one of the most successful artists in country music. 

“I’ll have three under 4, which will be [a] very, very interesting dynamic at the house — in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom house,” Luke tells ABC Audio. “We’ve been building a house for a couple years. It’s not quite done yet.”

“We will have three small children in the same room for about eight months,” he continues, “and I’m absolutely terrified of what that looks like. So that should be very interesting. We can do it, but it is going to be trying for sure.” 

Big brother Tex Lawrence Combs arrived in June 2022, while Beau Lee Combs followed in August 2023.

Coco Jones is set to give fans a “Taste” of Black history on Sunday when she performs “Lift Every Voice and Sing” during the Super Bowl pregame show — a responsibility she approached with care and research.

“Something that I like to do to really understand the gravity of what I’m doing and what I am representing is to look at the history of how ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’ even came into fruition from poetry to being the song that became a staple for our culture,” she said at the Apple Music Super Bowl 60 pregame show press conference Thursday.

That understanding, she explained, was important because she sees herself as vessel rather than the focus of the performance.

“Being able to have this light on the culture is a moment in itself. I’m just the vessel that is able to represent what this means to the culture,” she said, adding her thoughts are with the people who came before her and those that will come after.

“[I’m] thinking about younger me and what she needed to see, how she needed be taught that she could walk into rooms,” she said. “[I’m] thinking about the youth, thinking about my grandma and my ancestors and the women that came before me … what they would need to see to … confirm that everything was worth it.”

Coco said it’s hard to think of a moment topping this one, noting, “This is one of the most highly viewed events of all time, so it’s hard to compete. It’s hard to compete. Maybe my wedding will be up there.”

As for how she plans to prepare before stepping onto the field, Coco said she’ll snack on some Lay’s potato chips. “Whitney Houston said it makes your voice more oiled and loose,” she said.

Super Bowl 60 kicks off Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

On Sunday, Charlie Puth will follow in the footsteps of stars like Billy Joel, Whitney Houston, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson when he sings the national anthem at the Super Bowl. And he said he’s been thinking about how to make the song his own since he got the job in November.

“The arrangement is everything for me,” Charlie said at the Apple Music Super Bowl 60 pregame show press conference in San Francisco on Thursday. “I always reverse engineer how I hear my own music in my head and then it’s kind of just like pulling it apart and making it a feasible product. … So I’ve been rehearsing this in my head for months, if that makes sense.”

At one point during the press conference, Charlie slipped into his “Professor Puth” persona, explaining that the anthem is a “very musically difficult song to sing” because he has to hit “five more notes above the octave.” 

But when asked what he wants fans to take away from his rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Charlie said simply, “I want them to feel inspired. I want everybody to know that music is such an amazing thing and can change so many people’s lives.”

When the talk turned to sports, Charlie and “America the Beautiful” pregame singer Brandi Carlile admitted they were terrible athletes as children.

“I played baseball and would kick the dirt by third base. I was not good at sports,” Charlie laughed. “I know that’s very awkward to admit at such a sporty event, but … I tried swimming, tennis, no. Soccer, I would do a backflip in the mud. I always heard the music in my head.”

Super Bowl 60 airs on NBC Sunday night.
