Is Sundance Head alive? 'The Voice' star shot on his Texas ranch
Sundance Head is currently recovering after being shot in the stomach at his ranch in rural Texas on Friday, November 15. The singer, who won Season 11 of 'The Voice', was airlifted to a hospital in Tyler, Texas after paramedics stabilized him.
Head’s agent, Trey Newman, confirmed that the singer called 911 himself after the shooting, according to TMZ. He shared that the bullet hit Head’s stomach near the navel, but missed all vital organs, lodging in a fatty area.
The wound was not self-inflicted, and while the injury was serious, surgery was not immediately necessary after assessment. It’s unclear how Head was shot, though Newman speculated it may have been an accidental or stray bullet from a nearby hunter. Head is known to hunt on his ranch, which could have been the source of the shot.
