The Voice Winner Sundance Head Has Been Released from Hospital After Accidentally Shooting Himself, His Wife Says

Jason “Sundance” Head is now recovering at home after accidentally shooting himself in the stomach, according to an update from his wife.

The country singer’s agent, Trey Newman, told PEOPLE that Head, 46, was injured on Friday, Nov. 15, at around 4-4:30 p.m. local time while hunting alone in the woods at his Texas ranch.

On Saturday, Nov. 16, Head's wife, Misty, shared an update on her husband’s condition on Facebook, writing that “he was released [from the hospital] late last night." She added that it was a difficult three-hour ride home, “as the meds were wearing off” and “[Head] was bleeding badly through his dressings.”

“I was able to change and clean out the dressing and repack, though he’s not an easy patient, and gave him some Motrin. Not sure I slept bc I was worried about him,” Misty wrote, noting that “hearing him snore was music to my ears.”

Misty said her husband — who is the season 11 winner of NBC’s The Voice — was incredibly “lucky,” sharing that if the bullet had been any higher or lower, it would have been “devastating.”

“He’s definitely going to have a lot to say,” she continued, “and once he feels up to it I’ll have him do a video in his own words.”

Misty concluded the update with a photo of the shirt her husband was wearing during the accident, warning fans not to look at the bullet hole too closely if they have a “weak stomach.”

In a previous statement, Misty shared that Head was unable to call 911 when the accident occurred because he could not find his phone and his pockets were “filled with blood.” She said he headed to a nearby road to flag down help and a Good Samaritan eventually stopped to assist.

The “Darlin' Don't Go” singer was airlifted to a hospital, where medical staff said the “bullet went in above his navel and lodged into his abdominal wall missing all vital organs,” per a Facebook update from Misty. “He will not require surgery as they are not removing the bullet,” the singer's wife added.

Head — known for his big heart — was a fan favorite during his season of The Voice. When he ultimately won during the show’s December 2016 finale, he was sure to acknowledge his wife, shouting, “Misty Head, she’s the true champion!”

“It’s been really important for me to be able to come into your living room,” Head told PEOPLE after his win. “I just hope that I bring joy to you when you listen to my music.”
