Rocker Dee Snider's daughter is stuck in Peru amid coronavirus border closures

Twisted Singer frontman Dee Snider's 23-year-old daughter Cheyenne is stranded in Peru after the country closed its borders and grounded all commercial flights in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 65-year-old singer/songwriter told Page Six that he is desperately trying to get her home to the United States.

"I am seriously frustrated — and it's frightening," he told the outlet.

He continued, "She's scared. But we are talking to a lot of people and we are being optimistic. There's some [reassurance for us] that there are Americans with her in the country, but they are all scared."

"I want to kind of be like The Rock [aka actor Dwayne Johnson] in that movie 'San Andreas' — where he gets in the car, then he gets in the helicopter — to get my daughter. I want to do that, but I'm helpless … The roads are closed, the airports are closed. Everything is shut down," he added.

Cheyenne travelled by herself to Peru for a weeklong spiritual retreat in the north of the country near Iquitos, however last Sunday, the President of Peru Martin Vizcarra ordered a 15-day closure of the country's borders as an emergency response to help contain the rapid spread of the coronavirus.

The rocker told Page Six that he's reached out to everyone from the US military to the US Embassy in Peru as well as concert bookers and promoters he's worked with in the past who speak Spanish to help try and get his daughter home.

"What people need to realise is that it's not just my daughter," he told the newspaper. "There are hundreds of thousands of daughters and sons, mothers and fathers, out there right now who have just been blocked out of the country with no resources, no one to reach out to."
