Singer-Songwriter Todd Snider Passes Away After Hospitalization — Details

Todd Snider's final days took an unexpected turn when a secondary health crisis emerged just a week after he had returned home from treatment for injuries sustained in an earlier attack.

Singer-songwriter Todd Snider has died following a recent hospitalization, according to a tribute shared by his team on Facebook. The announcement described Snider's profound impact on those around him and his enduring dedication to his craft.

"He relayed so much tenderness and sensitivity through his songs, and showed many of us how to look at the world through a different lens. He got up every morning and started writing, always working towards finding his place among the songwriting giants that sat on his record shelves, those same giants who let him into their lives and took him under their wings, who he studied relentlessly," the statement read.

Snider's health struggles began after a vicious attack outside his hotel prior to a scheduled performance in Salt Lake City. Following the incident, he canceled the remaining dates of his "High, Lonesome and Then Some" 2025 tour.

"Todd will be unable to perform for an undetermined amount of time," his team wrote in a November 4, 2025 update. At the time, Snider was hospitalized and received medical treatment for his injuries.

He eventually recovered enough to return home. But after roughly a week of recuperating, Snider began experiencing difficulty breathing and was admitted to a hospital in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

Doctors later discovered he had been quietly battling an undiagnosed case of walking pneumonia, prompting his transfer for further treatment due to the complexity of his condition.

"His care team and those closest to him are by his side and doing everything they can," the statement said. However, shortly after the public update on his hospitalization, his team confirmed his passing.
