On Tuesday, Aug. 26, Christian musician Forrest Frank responded to “Reckless Love” singer Cory Asbury and others on social media after they poked fun at what Frank described as “probably the most traumatic moment of my life.”
Last month, Frank, who has over 5 million Instagram followers, posted a clip of a skateboarding accident that showed him falling and hitting his back on the edge of a concrete sidewalk. He was taken to the hospital, where doctors determined he had fractured both his L3 and L4 vertebrae.
The “Good Day” singer posted videos documenting his painful recovery journey. He also shared new music he had written while bedridden. One of those songs, “Lemonade,” released Friday, Aug. 1, quickly became the No. 1 song across all genres on Apple Music.
Fourteen days after breaking his back, Frank shared medical proof that his back was healed. He went on to perform a concert without limitations 21 days after the accident. Frank and others have characterized his recovery as miraculous.
On Aug. 6, award-winning Christian artist David Crowder broke his leg and tagged Frank in a social media video that lead to a collaboration titled “The Rock” that was released last Friday, Aug. 22.
Due to the success of the songs Frank has created because of his and Crowder’s injuries, other Christian artists such as Matthew West and Asbury, and even comedian Shama, have made parody songs about their own personal injuries. (It is unknown whether these injuries are real or fake).
Cory Asbury Writes Song About His Vasectomy
In similar fashion to Frank, Asbury posted a video on social media of himself in bed sharing that he had just gotten home from the hospital and that his meds were starting to wear off from surgery.
“Here’s the video, a little trigger warning, but here’s the video,” Asbury said before showing himself at a doctor’s office. “What’s up guys, I’m on a table getting a vasectomy.”
Panning back to himself lying in his bed, Asbury continued, “We didn’t plan this, but you know, my boy Forrest, he turned lemons into lemonade. And my guy Crowder, he’s standing on the rock with a broken leg, so I figured I still got use of my hands, you know, I could still make music.”
