Country music star Todd Snider has died. He was 59.

A statement posted on Snider’s Instagram on Saturday, November 15, revealed that the singer-songwriter had “departed this world” following a difficult few weeks.

“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,” a statement read. “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.”

His loved ones promised to continue Snider’s legacy despite the tragic circumstances surrounding his death.
