The 59-year-old announced shortly afterwards that his High, Lonesome and Then Some Tour had been canceled, claiming on social media that he had been the “victim of a violent assault”.
“We are heartbroken to announce the cancellation of the High, Lonesome and Then Some 2025 Tour dates,” the statement read.
“Todd will be unable to perform for an underdetermined 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.”
Another worrying update came on November 14, when people close to Snider told fans that he had been diagnosed with walking pneumonia, which started when he “began having trouble breathing” after being discharged from the hospital.
“Right now we’re asking everyone who loves Todd to hold him in your thoughts in whatever way feels right to you,” the statement read.
“Say a prayer, light a candle, roll one up, send strength, or just keep him close in your heart. You’ve carried him through so much over the years, and he needs that from all of us now more than ever.”
Rest in peace, Todd Snider.
