Americana singer-songwriter Todd Snider has recently been at the center of conflicting reports regarding his tour cancellation and subsequent arrest. Initially, Snider's team released a statement on Monday announcing the cancellation of his 'High, Lonesome and Then Some 2025 Tour' dates. The statement attributed this decision to Snider sustaining "severe injuries as the victim of a violent assault outside of his hotel" prior to a scheduled show in Salt Lake City, Utah, rendering him unable to perform for an undetermined period. His team expressed heartbreak over the cancellations and assured fans that they would provide more information on new dates soon, requesting understanding as Snider received necessary medical treatment.

However, subsequent reports have emerged, painting a more complex picture of the events. According to Utah news site KSL.com and a statement from the Salt Lake City Police Department, Snider was later arrested and booked for "disorderly conduct, trespassing and making threats of violence." The police confirmed that Snider's arrest occurred on Sunday in front of Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City.

The sequence of events leading to his arrest reportedly began when Snider arrived at Holy Cross Hospital, alleging he had been the victim of an attack outside his hotel. After being discharged from the hospital, Snider reportedly refused to leave the premises. While he eventually departed, he later returned to the hospital and began making verbal threats to the staff. The Salt Lake City Police Department's statement to Billboard corroborated this, noting that after his discharge, Snider returned to the hospital and "threatened hospital staff at that time," leading to his arrest and booking on the aforementioned charges.

Representatives for Snider have not responded to requests for comment regarding his arrest. The 'High, Lonesome and Then Some Tour' had commenced on Thursday in Englewood, Colorado, and was intended to support Snider’s album of the same name, which was released in October via Aimless Records/Thirty Tigers. The incident has left fans and the music community awaiting further clarification on the health and legal status of the acclaimed musician.
