‘The Voice’ winner Sundance Head breaks silence on accidental shooting

Jason “Sundance” Head has broken his silence after accidentally shooting himself last weekend in a hunting mishap.
The country singer, who won Season 11 of “The Voice,” released his first statement since the Nov. 15 incident at his Texas ranch, where he accidentally shot himself in the stomach and was airlifted to the UT Health Tyler hospital in Tyler, Texas.
His agent, Trey Newman, later revealed the bullet missed his vital organs and was lodged instead in a fatty tissue area of his stomach.
Head, 46, took to social media to share a health update with a series of videos recorded in front of a Christmas tree at his home, where he’s currently recovering.
“I was sure that I was going to die. It was one of the craziest things that’s ever happened to me,” he said in the first clip, posted to Facebook on Sunday. “But I really wanted to come on here and tell you guys that I am alive. I’m in a lot of pain. I was shot accidentally in the stomach. I was alone.”
“I still have the bullet in me. I’m not sure exactly what’s going to go on. All I know is I didn’t die,” Head continued. “I have another opportunity to live.”
On Monday night, the “Darlin’ Don’t Go” crooner posted another video offering more insight to what transpired as he set out on a solo camping trip with a .22-caliber revolver that “looks just like the kind of gun you’d see in a Western movie.”
“I really don’t know what happened still,” Head said, describing that he put his backpack with the quick-draw holster in the passenger seat of his vehicle and was shot when he began to walk away.
“It happened that fast,” he said. “That revolver slid out of the case and it hit the doorjamb on the Jeep on the floorstep and it shot me. There’s just no other way around it. That’s the facts.”
In shock, the singer-songwriter then felt his stomach to confirm the gunshot wound as blood came through his fingers.
“I reached my hand in my pocket in my blue jeans to get my phone and my pockets were already full of blood,” he described.
Head said he ran from the property to nearby Highway 84 where a bystander stopped to offer assistance as he was “bleeding out.”
“He was like an angel from heaven…I was never so glad to see somebody in my life.”
