On Friday (Nov. 15), country singer Jason “Sundance” Head (46), winner of “The Voice” Season 11 and son of legendary singer Roy Head, had to be “life flighted” to a Texas hospital after suffering an accidental gunshot wound to his stomach.
On his route to the hospital, Head’s wife, Misty, asked her husband’s 113,000 social media followers for prayer. “Prayer Warriors we need y’all,” she wrote on Head’s Facebook page. “This is Misty—I don’t have a lot of information but please keep Sundance in your prayers.”
“Sundance has been life flighted with a gun shot wound to his stomach per the paramedics who called me,” she continued. “They told me once they land he’s going in for immediate surgery. They did get him stable for the flight (per the paramedic) We are on our way to Tyler now. 🙏🏻 Again this is the only information I have at the time. Please just keep him in your prayers.”
In a later update, Misty thanked people for their prayers, sharing that God had answered them. She explained that her husband was in “good spirits” and that doctors had confirmed that there was “no internal damage” from the bullet wound.
Head was by himself at his East Texas ranch hunting when his .22 caliber pistol fell out of its holster and accidentally discharged while he was getting out of his vehicle.
“He was out of the vehicle reaching in to grab his 22 when he grabbed it the 22 came out of its holster and hit the exterior of the Jeep just right and went off,” said Misty.
She continued, “Sundance said it happened so fast and he could see the bullet dislodging. I thought he called 911 [but] he didn’t.”
“He put his hands in [his] pocket for [his] phone immediately after getting hit but [his] phone wasn’t there,” she explained. “[It was] just filled with blood so he took off down the driveway, out to the main road to flag a car down for help.”

After many cars had past Head by, Misty said that finally someone “turned around to help and called 911.” Misty warned, “Now this is what he has told me…he is heavily medicated at the moment. He’s so lucky and grateful to be alive. Thank you to the Good Samaritan who stopped and helped and the fast response by life flight and the doctors.”
