Twisted Sister writes the following in press releases from the band and Dee Snider:

“With Regrets, 

Twisted Sister Cancels 50th Anniversary Celebration Performances 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 scheduled, beginning April 25th in Sao Paulo Brazil and continuing through the summer. The future of Twisted Sister will be determined in the next several weeks. Stay tuned for updates.

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

Adding insult to injury, Dee has recently discovered that the intensity he has devoted to his life's work has also taken its toll on his heart. He can no longer push the boundaries of rock 'n' roll fury as he has done for decades. Snider says, "I don't know of any other way to rock. 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.
