Back in 2007, the music world was introduced to Jason Head, better known as Sundance Head, when he appeared on American Idol. His strong performances and commanding stage presence quickly made him a standout in the competition, especially within the country music scene.
Recently, Sundance Head made headlines again, but this time it was due to a serious incident on his Texas ranch. According to his agent, Trey Newman, the singer was shot while on his property. Though details were initially scarce, Newman confirmed that Head received medical assistance and was airlifted to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Head’s wife, Misty, later revealed that the singer had been shot in the stomach. She took to social media to ask fans for their prayers and support, expressing concern while also hoping for his speedy recovery.
Trey Newman offered more insight into the circumstances surrounding the shooting. While the exact cause remained unknown, he shared that the injury was not self-inflicted. Head is known for his love of hunting on his ranch, raising the possibility of an accidental shooting involving himself or another hunter in the area.
Fortunately, the bullet missed all of Head’s vital organs, which helped prevent a more tragic outcome. He underwent immediate surgery after the incident, and doctors determined that the bullet had lodged in fatty tissue within his body.
Newman added that the bullet’s path suggested it might have traveled through another object before hitting Head. This detail supported the theory that the shooting could have been an accidental occurrence during a hunting trip. Despite the severity of the situation, early reports indicated optimism about Head’s recovery.
