Country singer Todd Snider had performed the first concert of his "High, Lonesome and Then Some" tour on October 30 in Englewood, Colorado before he and his band moved on to Salt Lake City, where they were set to perform next on November 1. However, prior to the concert he was violently attacked outside the hotel where he was staying and suffered severe injuries.
The news was reported on his Instagram page, which read: "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."
Billboard.com described Todd as a singer who is "known for solo albums that blend keen cultural observations and deeply detailed lyricism."
Todd was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City, where he was treated, but police said after the singer was discharged, Todd yelled and swore at the staff because he didn't feel he was ready to leave. After allegedly threatening a member of the staff, Todd was arrested for causing a disturbance. He has since been released from police custody. ~Alexandra Heilbron

They discharged him before he was ready after being violently assaulted? No wonder he was angry. That's American healthcare for you. Notice they kept Jamie Foxx for days, I guess if you have loads of money they're thrilled to keep you.
SO SORRY FOR WHAT'S BEFALLEN YOU TODD, MAY YOU HAVE A QUICK RECOVERY. I can't help but wonder if this has something to do with the song that cuts down Trump and someone took it personally. It's a good song and true.
Just a little reminder to Sandra, that Trump supporters, do NOT go around beating up people who they dissagree with. That has been the LEFT every time!
Lena- every time? Like always? Hmmmm You can see plenty of videos online of MAGgots and how they react to who and what they think is the radical left. Plus, remember even Trump was shot at by registered Republicans.
Lena is delusional or she doesn’t understand the difference between Left and Right or she is simply brainwashed and living in Trumptown until “death do you partâ€. Such a sad and useless existence in Trumptown! Get some bear spray Todd and sing at your heart’s content. The pen is the new sword…remember that!
Completely agree with Lena! Lefties can be pretty violent! On another note, well wishes for Todd!
Um, talking about who's more violent - it wasn't the left that stormed the Capitol, injuring everyone in their way and threatening to hang the VP - that was the redneck Republicans.
I wonder if he may have been suffering a head injury they didn't notice? you can become combative and angry when suffering certain head injuries.
and they say Chicago is a rough town. Maybe the National Guard should be heading to Salt Lake.
Red, blue, orange or green all parties contain violence as well as compassion so let's not make this injury due to politics. Also both parties do have a freedom to speak or sing without ridking their life, wether we agree with them or not This was a tragic act of violence that should not have occured. We hope that Todd will be ok and without any long term injuries. Many may disagree, but Todd probably should not have been released if he felt he needed more medical observation.
