Salt Lake City, Utah — Singer-songwriter Todd Snider has canceled several concert dates following an alleged assault outside his hotel on Halloween. The incident left the 59-year-old musician with significant injuries, prompting him to step back from his scheduled performances.
In a message posted on social media, Snider’s team expressed their heartbreak over the cancellations, noting that his “High, Lonesome and Then Some 2025 Tour” would be disrupted. The statement indicated that Snider would not perform for an as-yet undetermined time, apologizing to fans for any inconvenience caused.
Snider’s next scheduled performance was set for November 5 in San Francisco, following the cancellation of another gig in South Salt Lake. He was also slated to appear at Napa’s Uptown Theatre on November 7. The tour was expected to take him across various states, including California, Oregon, Washington, and Montana, by the end of the year.
In the days following the alleged attack, Snider was reportedly arrested after an incident at a local hospital, where he had been receiving treatment. Allegations arose that he behaved disruptively toward staff, leading to charges that included disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing, and making threats.
Despite the chaos, Snider remains a beloved figure in the music scene, known for hits like “Beer Run” and “Can’t Complain.” His career spans decades, with notable albums including “Songs for the Daily Planet” and “Peace Queer,” both of which reached high positions on U.S. charts. In October 2021, he was honored with an induction into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame.
Snider’s latest work, “High, Lonesome and Then Some,” released in October, reflects his enduring creativity and connection with fans. His team is expected to keep fans updated on his recovery and future performance plans as he navigates this challenging period.
