Country singer Sundance Head, a winner on “The Voice,” is recovering at home after he was accidentally shot in the stomach while handling a firearm on a hunting trip at his East Texas ranch.

Head, winner of the 11th season of NBC’s “The Voice” in 2016, was leaning into his vehicle to grab his .22 caliber pistol when it fell out of its holster and onto the exterior of the vehicle and fired off a shot that hit Head in the stomach, his agent, Trey Newman said in an email to The Associated Press.

His wife Misty gave an update on social media.

She said the ride home from the hospital was difficult as Head’s medication was wearing off and he was bleeding through bandages, “not to mention he was in just a hospital gown (since) all his clothes were at the ranch.”

“Not sure I slept bc I was worried about him as was he, but hearing him snore was music to my ears,” she wrote, admitting that her country singer husband is “not an easy patient.”

TMZ was the first to report the news of his gunshot injury. 

“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,” Misty 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.”

She also posted a photo of the black sleeveless shirt Head was wearing at the time of the incident, including a bullet hole in the torso area of the shirt.

“I’m posting a picture of his shirt just so y’all can see how lucky he was,” Misty said. “Any higher or lower would have been devastating.”
