DEE SNIDER/EMERGENCY THROAT SURGERY
Legendary Twisted Sister frontman and personality, Dee Snider will undergo emergency throat surgery on March 1st to remove a polyp from his vocal cords. A polyp or nodule is a non-cancerous growth that obstructs the voice box’s normal performance.

While the surgery is relatively routine, the healing process and subsequent voice therapy will have Dee out of commission for up to two months. This will mean that all radio shows, television appearances, concert engagements, recording sessions, personal appearances and voice over sessions will need to be pre-recorded, postponed or canceled. This will include Dee Snider’s long running and nationally syndicated weekly radio show “The House of Hair”; heard weekly on more then 200 stations throughout North America.

Dee’s operation will be performed by noted throat and voice specialist DR. Gwen S. Korovin who has helped some of the greatest voices in history including Celine Dion, Pavoratti and Mick Jagger. Says Dee, “All of you people our there, including my wife Suzette who have been hoping I would just shut up, are finally getting your wish…at least for a couple of months.”

If you ever pray, pray for Dee.
