Dee Snider was asked via Twitter about what caused the death of his friend and TWISTED SISTER bandmate AJ Pero and he replied:
“Massive heart attack. Advanced heart disease.”
When asked by X17 at LAX whither or not TWISTED SISTER will continue with Mr. Pero, Snider responded:
“Will we continue to play? Probably for his family, because his family will benefit from us playing, financially. [There are] five original members of Twisted Sister, and he’s the first one we’ve lost. And the band is heartbroken.”
