Prayers for Todd Snider and his family.
Fresh off releasing a new record, HIGH, LONESOME AND THEN SOME, back on October 17th, Todd Snider had recently kicked off his brand new tour behind the album of the same name. After kicking off the tour smoothly on Thursday, October 30th in Englewood, Colorado, the Portland native was severely injured ahead of his Salt Lake City, Utah show on November 1st.
At the time, all that was known about the incident is that Snider was unable to perform in Salt Lake City due to “injuries sustained in an incident last night” as posted by the venue, Commonwealth Room.
With that being said, however, it quickly became apparent that the injuries sustained were the result of something much more serious.
According to an Instagram post uploaded by the “Beer Run” singer’s record label, Aimless Inc., Snider sustained severe injuries in a “violent assault” outside of his hotel in Salt Lake City. Though Snider is currently in stable condition, he has cancelled all remaining tour dates on the aforementioned High, Lonesome and Then Some Tour.
The full statement from Snider’s team reads as follows:
“We are heartbroken to announce the cancellation of the ‘High, Lonesome and Then Some’ 2025 Tour dates. Ahead of Todd Snider’s show in Salt Lake City, Todd sustained severe injuries as the victim of a violent assault outside of his hotel.
Todd will be unable to perform for an undetermined amount of time. We deeply apologize for the cancellation and any inconvenience it causes. We appreciate your understanding as Todd receives needed medical treatment. We hope to have more information on new dates soon.”
Snider, who has released well over a dozen albums over the course of his 30-year music career, is forced to cancel nearly 20 separate tour dates which were just announced less than two weeks ago.
Upon posting the health update, fans, record labels and fellow artists, including Cross Canadian Ragweed’s Cody Canada and John Carter Cash, took to Snider’s Instagram comments to show support for the 59-year-old singer/songwriter.
