Todd Snider was arrested

Country singer and songwriter Todd Snider has recently made headlines after he abruptly cancelled a nationwide tour after he was allegedly violently assaulted outside his Utah hotel over the weekend.

Unfortunately, he ended up in jail. The musician from Nashville was admitted to the hospital late Sunday after he claimed to have been attacked outside the Salt Lake City hotel just prior to the second performance of his ‘High, Lonesome and Then Some’ tour.

According to Fox13, Todd, who is known for country, folk, alternative, and blues music, was arrested a few hours after the alleged assault after reportedly causing a commotion at the Holy Cross Hospital, where he was receiving treatment.

Todd was reportedly taken into custody at 7:10 PM on Sunday and released shortly before 3 AM on Monday, November 3, according to Salt Lake County jail records. He signed a pledge to appear in court but was released on no recognisance, meaning he was not obliged to post bail.

However, Todd Snider’s team has recently taken to Instagram and shared an official statement following his release from jail.

The statement reads, “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 apologise 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,” it added.
