Related: About this forumTodd Snyder has passed. No official cause of death released, but the Rolling Stone magazine mentioned pneumonia
59 years old, way too young.
I'm a big fan, because Todd, well he was an alright guy
https://music.
The albums were cool and all, but the real charm he had was his story telling

(12,015 posts)1. Big fan too. I read that last week he had some issue at a hospital, got arrested, cancelled upcoming shows, etc.
Something happened, but not sure what.
Still a shame. I first heard him with "Conservative Christian, Right Wing . . . . . ."

RIP Todd
Big fan for over 10 years. Saw him open for John Prine. He was great in concert.
According to Wikipedia:
On November 3, 2025, a post on Snider's Instagram announced the cancellation of remaining tour dates after he had sustained "severe injuries as the victim of a violent fight outside of his hotel."[182] Snider was in Salt Lake City preparing to play the second stop on his "High Lonesome and Then Some" tour.[183] The singer told police he was beaten up and robbed at the Commonwealth Room, the venue where he had been scheduled to play later that night.[184] A news report said his injuries required staples in his head. Salt Lake City police later charged Snider with disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, and threats of violence after he became combative with hospital staff while seeking treatment.[185][181]
Snider died on November 14, 2025.[186][187] It has been reported that the assault he had eleven days prior to his death led to him getting walking pneumonia.[188]

This is so sad especially after losing Neal Casal a few years ago. He and Todd were in the band Hard Working Americans together.
