Americana Singer Todd Snider Hospitalised After Salt Lake City Assault, Tour Cancelled

Todd Snider, the Americana singer-songwriter known for his blend of folk, rock, and blues, has canceled the remainder of his 2025 tour after sustaining severe injuries in a violent assault outside his hotel in Salt Lake City. The assault occurred just before his scheduled performance there, forcing the cancellation of all upcoming dates on his High, Lonesome and Then Some tour, which had begun only days earlier in Englewood, Colorado. Snider's management confirmed the assault and noted that he will be unable to perform for an undetermined amount of time as he receives medical treatment. Details about the incident, including suspects or motives, remain undisclosed, although local authorities are reportedly reviewing hotel security footage. The Americana and folk music communities have expressed concern and support for Snider, who has been a prominent figure in the genre for over three decades. His team has apologized for the cancellations and hopes to announce new tour dates once his recovery allows.
