Salt Lake City, Utah – Renowned country artist Todd Snider has canceled several upcoming performance dates following an alleged assault outside his hotel late last week. The incident reportedly occurred on Halloween, leaving Snider with serious injuries and prompting a rapid response from his team.
In a message shared on social media, Snider’s representatives expressed their sorrow over the cancellation of his tour, which included dates on the High, Lonesome and Then Some Tour. The statement noted that Snider would be unable to perform indefinitely, leaving many fans disappointed.
Originally scheduled to take the stage in San Francisco on November 5 and perform at Napa’s Uptown Theatre on November 7, Snider’s tour was set to extend across California, Oregon, Washington, and Montana before the year’s end. However, the recent developments have cast a shadow over his plans.
Days after the reported attack, Snider was involved in a separate incident that led to his arrest for alleged disorderly conduct at a Salt Lake City hospital. After being discharged, Snider reportedly became confrontational with staff, resulting in multiple charges, including criminal trespassing and threatening violence. He was booked into jail but has since been released.
Known for hits like "Beer Run" and "Can’t Complain," Snider has been a distinctive voice in the folk and country music scene since the release of his debut album, Songs for the Daily Planet, in 1994. His latest album, High, Lonesome and Then Some, was launched just this October, showcasing his continued evolution as an artist.
The Oregon native earned a place in the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in 2021, reflecting his long-standing impact on the music community. Fans are anxiously awaiting updates on his recovery and potential return to the stage, as they rally around him during this challenging time.
The events have sparked considerable concern among his followers, who expressed their support on social media, hoping for a swift recovery for the beloved musician. Snider has yet to publicly address his recent legal troubles or provide any further details regarding his health and future performances.
