Voice Winner Sundance Head’s Wife Reveals His Bullet-Pierced Shirt

The Voice winner Jason “Sundance” Head’s wife, Misty, is offering an update on her husband’s health after he sustained a gunshot wound.

“He was released late last night we got home very early this morning it was a [rough] 3 hr ride home for him as the meds were wearing off and bc he was moving he was bleeding badly through his dressings not to mention he was in just a hospital gown all his clothes were at the ranch,” she wrote via Facebook on Saturday, November 16.

“We got him home I was able to change and clean out the dressing and repack though he’s not an easy patient and gave him some Motrin.”

She continued, “Not sure I slept bc I was worried about him as was he but hearing him snore was music to my ears. Dressing held as of now — will change again shortly — I’m posting a pic of his shirt just so y’all can see how lucky he was. Any higher or lower would have been devastating.”

Misty added that she’s “grateful” for all the messages, calls and prayers they have received amid his recovery.

“He’s definitely going to have a lot to say and once he feels up to it I’ll have him do a video in his own words,” she said. “Y’all know he has a way with words and know he won’t just have a song to write but an entire album of this accident. Again thank you all.”

Alongside the message, Misty shared a picture of Sundance’s shirt with a bullet pole. “Pic not to [sic] graphic but if you have a weak stomach don’t click and blow up the pic to see bullet hole,” she wrote.

News broke one day earlier that Sundance was shot “in the navel area” and had been airlifted to the hospital. In an update posted later that day, Misty clarified the accident.

“It was not his hunting rifle and no nobody shot him,” she wrote on Friday, November 15. “He was out of the vehicle reaching in to grab his 22 when he grabbed it the 22 came out of its holster and hit the exterior of the Jeep just right and went off.”

She continued, “Sundance said it happened so fast and he could see the bullet dislodging. I thought he called 911 he didn’t — he put his hands in pocket for phone immediately after getting hit but phone wasn’t there just filled with blood so he took off down the driveway out to the main road to flag a car down for help. 10 cars later someone turned around to help and called 911.”

Sundance was a contestant on season 11 of The Voice, as part of coach Blake Shelton’s team. He ultimately won the season.
