Jamie Foxx told a packed audience at a taping for his Netflix special that he had a “near-death experience” and was in a weeks-long coma during his mystery health crisis that had him hospitalized in 2023.
Foxx’s Netflix standup special – “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was,” which premieres next Tuesday – is billed as a “heartfelt return” in which the star “sets the record straight” and “expresses deep gratitude to those who prayed and supported his recovery, turning his show into a thank you to his fans,” according to Netflix’s description.
Foxx said onstage that “if he didn’t get to the hospital in that moment and the nurse didn’t treat him in a certain timeframe, he said he would have died,” according to Chambers, who added that the star expressed that he was “literally within an inch of his life. He was gone. It was lights out.” Foxx has not publicly disclosed the diagnosis of his medical condition. This past summer, in a video shared to TikTok, the “Ray” actor said he had a “bad headache” and was then “gone for 20 days.
