Country singer and winner of The Voice US, Jason 'Sundance' Head, had a frightening experience this week when he accidentally shot himself in the stomach while hunting on his Texas ranch. The 46-year-old musician, known for his victory on season 11 of the popular singing competition, was rushed to the hospital via helicopter after the incident.
Thankfully, it seems that the singer is on the mend. His wife, Misty Head, shared an update on his condition on Facebook, stating that he was "in good spirits" despite the events of the past few hours. She also reassured fans that there was no internal damage done by the bullet and thanked everyone for their prayers.
According to Misty, the accident occurred when Jason was reaching into his truck to grab his gun and it accidentally went off. She explained that he immediately tried to call 911, but his phone was filled with blood and he had to flag down a passing car for help. It took several cars before someone finally stopped and called for emergency assistance.
Misty also revealed that Jason was "heavily medicated" at the moment but was "lucky and grateful" to be alive. She expressed her gratitude to the Good Samaritan who stopped to help and the quick response from the life flight team and doctors.
Earlier in the day, Misty had shared that the bullet had entered above her husband's navel and lodged in his abdominal wall, narrowly missing all of his vital organs. This meant that he would not need surgery as the decision was made to leave the bullet where it was.
Misty added that Jason's size may have actually worked in his favor, as the bullet ended up in his fatty tissues. She thanked everyone for their prayers and support during this difficult time.
Aside from his success on The Voice, Jason was also a semi-finalist on American Idol in 2007. He has since released four albums, with his most recent being 2022's Starting Again. He is also scheduled to perform at nine shows across Texas in December.
We're grateful that Jason is on the road to recovery and hope he continues to heal quickly. If you have any celebrity stories, videos, or pictures, be sure to reach out to our entertainment team through email or by visiting our Submit Stuff page. We always love hearing from you.
