March 5, 2012TWISTED SISTER and Y&T played at the John Falcone Memorial Concert this past Saturday, March 3 in Poughkeepsie, New York at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center. Falcone, a City of Poughkeepsie police officer, was killed in the line of duty February 18. All proceeds will go toward the John Falcone PBA Fund, the National Law Enforcement Officer Memorial Fund and Fallen Blue.

TWISTED SISTER drummer A.J. Pero was last year named the national spokesperson for Fallen Blue, which was created as a means to provide support, both emotional and financial, for the families of police officers who are killed outside the line of duty.
Pero has spent his life entertaining rock music fans as the drummer for TWISTED SISTER. He has also dedicated his life to helping others less fortunate with his charity work.
"We tend to do our benefits based on the proximity of the person and the place, the conditions, the circumstances, as it relates to us," TWISTED SISTER guitarist Jay Jay French told the Poughkeepsie Journal. "This is meaningful to the guys in my band, who have close relationships with various police departments."
