Jamie Foxx Announces Dates for Stand-Up Show About His Medical Emergency, Set to Stream on Netflix
variety.comAngelique Jackson Jamie Foxx is ready to tell all about the medical emergency that left him hospitalized and fighting for his life last year — in a special that will be taped for Netflix.
In April 2023, the Oscar and Grammy winner was sidelined by a sudden, serious medical complication and hospitalized in Atlanta.
No official cause has been disclosed, though Foxx has alluded to the severity of his condition in the months since. Most recently, Foxx revealed (via Art of Dialogue) that it started with a “bad headache,” but then he was “gone for 20 days” and woke up with no memory of what happened.
