The plot thickens… Over the weekend, Salt Lake City’s Commonwealth Room posted that country/folk singer-songwriter, Todd Snider, would be unable to perform that night due to “injuries sustained in an incident,” but little information was given: “Due to injuries sustained in an incident last night, Todd Snider will be unable to perform at the Commonwealth Room tonight(Nov. 1) in SLC . We deeply apologize for the postponement and appreciate everyone’s understanding as he gets treated. More information on a new date will be available soon.” And then yesterday, Snider’s team announced that he would be canceling the remainder of his 2025 High, Lonesome and Then Some Tour dates, after he was “violently attacked” outside of his hotel in Salt Lake City, and sustained “severe” injuries. At the time, there were no local news reports corroborating a reported assault. The full statement from Snider’s team reads as follows: “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.” View this post on Instagram However, that might not be the full story… According to KSL, Snider himself was arrested at a nearby hospital and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for disorderly conduct, as well as trespassing and making violent threats. Snider allegedly went to the hospital claiming he was attacked outside his hotel, however once he was discharged and cleared to leave, he allegedly became combative and refused to leave. He reportedly cussed out staff, and while he eventually did leave the building, he reportedly returned to the hospital and made verbal threats to hospital staff. Responding officers note that he didn’t feel that he was ready to be discharged. KSL reporter Heidi Hatch confirms that police were indeed called out to investigate an alleged assault of a 59 year old man at the Commonwealth Room, presumably Snider, but no other details are available: SOUTH SALT LAKE, UT – On November 1st at 3:40 p.m., South Salt Lake Police Officers were dispatched to investigate a report of an alleged assault of a 59-year-old male at the Commonwealth Room in South Salt Lake. Limited information was obtained. At this time, the exact location… — Heidi Hatch KUTV (@tvheidihatch) November 4, 2025 It is certainly an interesting situation, and it definitely appears as though Snider’s team didn’t exactly tell fans the whole story. The statement claims Todd was attacked outside his hotel, however the police report says they were called to investigate at the venue where he was set to perform… the nearest hotels appear to be more than a few blocks away so that’s a bit curious. But also, if Snider was attacked as alleged, the severity of his injuries may have been exaggerated. Doctors at Salt Lake City Regional Hospital certainly thought he was fine to leave. Todd apparently disagreed, prompting a violent outburst from Todd as well. It’s quite the strange situation all the way around… stay tuned for more details.The post Todd Snider Arrested At Salt Lake City Hospital Following Alleged “Violent Assault” That Forced Him To Cancel Tour Dates first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
