Sebastian Bach to front Twisted Sister
"I am the lead singer of Twisted Sister," Bach enthuses
Former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach has been recruited by Twisted Sister to front the band at select concerts later this year.
Twisted Sister manager, guitarist and founding member Jay Jay French and long-term guitarist Eddie Ojeda issued a statement on Tuesday night (3rd March) confirming that Sebastian Bach will perform with them this autumn.
‘Twisted Sister members Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda are thrilled to announce that iconic vocalist and front man Sebastian Bach will be fronting the band for a handful of select dates this fall’, the statement reads.
‘These appearances do not affect or conflict with Sebastian’s current or future solo touring schedule, which remains fully intact.’
Currently the only listed Twisted Sister live show is on 4th September at Alaska State Fair.
The Sebastian Bach announcement comes four weeks after Twisted Sister cancelled their 50th anniversary reunion tour in 2026 due to Dee Snider’s health issues.
In an Instagram post, Sebastian Bach confirmed that Dee Snider had given him his blessing.
"I am the lead singer of Twisted Sister," Bach told his followers. "I keep saying that over and over to myself and anybody else who will listen. Today I am absolutely honoured and overjoyed to pay tribute to the legacy of some of my favourite music and musicians of my whole life!
"I am a true fan of this music. I have even been nicknamed SMF#2 for decades now by SMF#1, the one and only Dee Snider. I called Dee today and we talked for around 45 minutes before this news hit the planet. We were both kind of emotional on the phone. I know I was a little bit teary-eyed because I have nothing but respect for Dee, and I have always been a fan and a friend of Dee, Suzette (Snider's wife) and his wonderful family.
"We have agreed to do six shows this year together, and I am really looking forward to this. None of the shows of my solo band are being cancelled or moved. I am going to be one busy mother trucker, that is for sure, but I am used to it!
"I would like to personally thank Jay Jay French, Eddie Ojeda and the whole team of Twisted F---ing Sister. It’s a long way from me painting the TS logo on the back of my jean jacket in high school in liquid paper to fronting the band. I am completely excited as a fan to sing these songs.
"Thank you, Twisted Sister, for this awesome opportunity, and I look forward to rocking with all you sick motherfckers later on this year!"
