On April 7, 2015, TMZ.com reported that Twisted Sister would embark on its final tour, dubbed “Forty and Fuck It”, in 2016. Mike Portnoy (of The Winery Dogs and Transatlantic and formerly of Dream Theater and Adrenaline Mob ) filled in for Pero on drums on this tour. The band also announced tribute shows in honor of A. J. Pero; the first was in Las Vegas , Nevada , on May 30 and was recorded for the CD/DVD release Metal Meltdown—Featuring Twisted Sister Live at The Hard Rock Casino—Las Vegas , released that July. The second was dubbed “Twisted Sister – A Concert to Honor AJ Pero” and held in Sayreville, New Jersey on June 13. On this tour a recording of a drum solo, from one of AJ’s last concerts with Twisted Sister, was shown on the stage screen, giving the fans one final experience of the classic line-up together. The recording was from the Faroe Islands Summarfestival. The group played its final concert on November 12, 2016 in Monterrey .
