Renowned for his contributions to alt-country music, Todd Snider has passed away at the age of 59 after battling an undisclosed illness. He was celebrated for hits such as “Alright Guy” and “Just Like Old Times.”

The news of Snider’s death on Friday was confirmed in an Instagram post by his record label, Aimless, Inc. Headquarters.

In the statement, the label expressed, “How do we find the words for someone who always had the perfect words? Todd knew how to distill life’s moments into their essence, delivering profound, hilarious, and impactful phrases in his songs.”

“His creations felt instantly familiar and comforting, like an old friend or a cherished blanket. Todd had a knack for finding humor in our wild journey on Earth,” the message continued.

The statement further acknowledged Snider’s unique ability to convey tenderness and sensitivity through his music, inspiring many to view the world through a different perspective.

“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.”

Snider’s family previously revealed in a Friday statement that the singer was diagnosed with pneumonia during his stay at a hospital in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

After his condition worsened due to complications, the “Trouble” hitmaker was transferred to another facility.

At the time, the family requested that Snider’s fans “say a prayer, light a candle, roll one up, send strength, or just keep him close in your heart” during the tough time.

“You’ve carried him through so much over the years, and he needs that from all of us now more than ever,” the message continued.

His death comes shortly after his tour in support of his most recent album, “High, Lonesome and Then Some,” which released in October, was canceled earlier this month.

The tour was axed after he was allegedly the victim of a violent assault in the Salt Lake City area, according to a Nov. 3 statement from his management team.

However, Snider was later arrested by Salt Lake City police after he caused a disturbance at the Holy Cross Hospital where he was being treated.

The singer was reportedly yelling and cursing at the hospital staff after they discharged him before he was apparently ready, per the Salt Lake Tribune.

He was charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing and threatening violence.

Born and raised in Oregon, Snider’s musical influences were based on artists like Kris Kristofferson, Guy Clark and John Prine.

He got his start in the music industry as a young artist signed to Jimmy Buffet’s record label, Margaritaville, which released his first two albums 1994’s “Songs for the Daily Planet” and 1996’s “Step Right Up.”

He went on to write songs for several major artists including Jerry Jeff Walker, Billy Joe Shaver and Tom Jones. He also co-wrote a song with Loretta Lynn that appeared on her 2016 album, “Full Circle.”
