Former “The Voice” winner Sundance Head took to social media to share an update himself after being hospitalized with a gunshot wound.
TMZ reported that according to Trey Newman, “The Voice” star’s agent, Head’s injury happened at his rural Texas ranch.
The singer was shot in the stomach and TMZ indicated paramedics were able to stabilize Head at the scene of the incident.
On November 16, People reported that Newman relayed that Head accidentally shot himself while he was hunting.
A Facebook update from the singer’s wife Misty indicated that the singer had been reaching into a vehicle to grab a gun, and as he did, it came out of its holster.
The gun hit the vehicle “just right and went off,” she wrote. He managed to get himself to the main road by his property and someone stopped and called 911 for him.
“I was sure that I was gonna die,” Head admitted in his new update.

Head remains in significant pain, he noted.
The full story will be broken down into multiple parts, Head explained. He noted he is eager to share what happened, and he wants to do it without trying to condense it into one video.
