Back in 2007, the music industry learned the name of Jason Head, known as Sundance Head, when he appeared on American Idol.The country singer seemed to dominate the stage with each passing week.Sharing details surrounding the incident, Head’s agent Trey Newman revealed the singer was shot while on his Texas ranch.

Not giving away too many details surrounding the incident, Newman did admit that Head received help before being airlifted to a nearby hospital.According to his wife, Misty, the singer was shot in the stomach.She asked fans to come together and pray for her husband’s speedy recovery.Again, the reasoning behind the shot was unknown at the time, but Newman admitted that Head loved to hunt on his ranch.

As for his current condition, “It missed all vital organs. It was not self-inflicted.We don’t know if it was an accident with his gun or if it was another hunter nearby.”Going in for immediate surgery after the incident, the agent continued,“The bullet is lodged in some fatty tissue, and the only way it could have happened is if it traveled through something else.”

And with one week to go before the finale, tragedy struck as he was voted off. Not letting that slow him down, Head continued to pursue a career in country music.And in 2016, he once again tried his luck in a singing competition. But this time, it was The Voice.Landing on Team Blake Shelton, Head eventually won.
