ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Twisted Sister guitarist Eddie Ojeda is recuperating from emergency back surgery that forced him to miss the band’s concert Wednesday night near Philadelphia.

Ojeda experienced intense pain that prevented him from standing or sitting, went to a hospital and had surgery to repair a ruptured disc, according to bandmate Jay Jay French.

French says Ojeda is feeling better and hopes to perform at the band’s Sunday night concert at New York’s Nokia Theater.
