Country music star Todd Snider abruptly canceled a nationwide tour after he was allegedly violently assaulted outside his Utah hotel over the weekend — but the saga has since taken a bizarre twist after he ended up in cuffs.

The Nashville-based musician, 59, was hospitalized late Sunday after claiming he was attacked outside the hotel in Salt Lake City right before the second show on his “High, Lonesome and Then Some” tour.

“Ahead of Todd Snider’s show in Salt Lake City, Todd sustained severe injuries as the victim of a violent assault,” his team said in a statement on Monday.
