Sundance Head Shot: Singer Reveals What Went Wrong Before Gun Accident

Country music singer Sundance Head has told how he thought he was “going to die” after accidentally shooting himself in the stomach.

Jason ‘Head’ Sundance, 46, said of the shooting, which took place while he was on a hunting Trip in Texas: “It was one of the craziest things that’s ever happened to me.”

Sundance, who won the 11th season of The Voice in 2016, sustained a gunshot wound to the stomach on Friday, causing him to “bleed out.”

The freak accident happened when he was packing up his stuff, after he decided not to hunt and simply enjoy nature. Sundance began loading up his jeep and in the process his .22 caliber pistol fell out of his backpack, discharging and shooting him in the stomach.

He posted two videos to Facebook, entitled Statement Part 1 and 2, to give fans an update on his health and his experience of what happened.

“I started loading the Jeep to go to the other side of the property and put everything I needed in there,” Sundance said in the second video posted on Sunday.

“Last thing to do was grab my backpack, and I travel all the time with a revolver in it. It’s old school and looks just like the kind of gun you would see in a western movie.”

In his first video, Sundance admitted: “I was sure that I was going to die.”

But the singer admitted making a mistake with his gun, when he forgot to use a strap to secure it in its holster. When he put the bag on his passenger seat, the gun fell out and into the vehicle.

“I set it down, and I backed up to walk away and I was shocked,” Sundance continued. “It happened that fast. And what happened was that revolver slid out of the case, and it hit the door jam on the Jeep, on the floor step, and it shot me.”

Sundance then recalled the panic that took over his body as he saw the blood gushing out of his stomach. As a result of being in shock he could not locate his cell phone, because he “could not process anything.”

“I’d just got shot,” he added.

Instead, he decided to run to a nearby main road to flag down some help.

“I jumped our cattle gate,” he said. “I jumped that thing, I’m telling you, with one bound like I was 15 or 16 years old again… That’s just the first little spot of divine intervention in this whole thing.”

About a dozen cars passed the “Darlin’ Don’t Go” singer, until one man turned back around to help him.

“He was like an angel from heaven. I was never so glad to see somebody in my life,” Sundance said in the five-minute video.

He was eventually airlifted to UT Tyler Hospital, located about 100 miles east of Dallas, according to his wife Misty Sundance, who posted an update for fans on Saturday.

She also included a photo of her husband’s bloody t-shirt, complete with bullet hole in the stomach area.

“It was one of the craziest things that’s ever happened to me. But I really wanted to come on here and tell you guys that I am alive. I’m in a lot of pain,” Sundance said in his first statement.

“I have a lot of life left, and that’s what I was telling these ladies and gentlemen that [were] trying to keep me alive during the whole process, man. I just, really, I’m so thankful for the first responders. They did a wonderful job.”

The country music star also thanked the man who pulled over to help him.

“Without you, man, I don’t think I was gonna make it,” he said. “I was bleeding out right there. Didn’t have anyone to help me, and you know, I had about a dozen cars go by and see me and make eye contact, and they didn’t stop.”

“I’m telling you what, buddy, I was at the end of the road,” he continued.

“So, I am really, really fortunate and thankful for the couple of gentlemen that did turn around, and I want to tell you honestly that I love you and I’m so thankful that you were in my life at that moment.

“And it wasn’t a chance meeting between us. And I look forward to spending more time with you in the future,” he added.
