It can become altruistic and help other people, but, honestly, it’s not always conducive to being a good brother.”According to reports, the Just Like Old Times crooner met Melita in rehab in 1997, and they tied the knot soon after. In 2015, Snider revealed that he “just got divorced.”More details on Todd Snider’s passingOn Friday, November 14, 2025, a statement was shared on Todd Snider’s socials, signed by ‘Todd’s Friends & Family,’ announcing that the singer was admitted to the hospital and battling for his life.
