Sundance Head, winner of ‘The Voice’, was hit by a bullet at his ranch in Texas

Country singer Sundance Head, who won season 11 of “The Voice,” was wounded by a bullet Friday at his ranch in Texas, his agent said.

Head, 46, was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Tyler, Agent Trey Newman said in a statement. He was released late Friday and was back home, according to a post on the his verified Facebook page Saturday.

The round lodged in a fatty area of ​​Head’s stomach, Newman said. Head’s wife, Misty, said on the Facebook page that surgery would be unnecessary.

The bullet, described by the site as a round from his .22 firearm, could have caused serious injury if it struck the area of ​​his body just outside the wound profile, according to Saturday’s affidavit.

“I am posts a picture of his shirt just so you guys can see how lucky he was,” reads the statement. “Any higher or lower would have been devastating.”

It added: “No internal damage was done by the bullet. Thank you all for the prayers.”

The site described the shooting as an accident.

Newman said Friday that the round may have come from a nearby hunter’s stray shot, but Head’s Facebook page later said he had grabbed his own firearm from his vehicle when it “came out of its holster and struck the exterior of the Jeep squarely and went off.”

“Sundance said it happened so fast and he could see the bullet shifting,” the statement read.

The singer didn’t have his phone in his pocket, so “he took off down the driveway onto the main road to flag down a car for help,” the post said.

Head flagged down several vehicles before one stopped, turned around and ultimately contacted first responders on his behalf, according to the affidavit.

A spokesman for the Smith County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to a request for more information Friday.

Head was coached by Blake Shelton when he won “The Voice” in 2016. He toured with Shelton the next year, released an album in 2022 — one of four in his career — and returned to the show for Shelton’s eviction last year, according to his show bio.

Although Head’s father, Roy Head, was a well-known musician, the singer didn’t begin to break into music until he was 33. By the time he reached “The Voice” for Season 11, he had been thwarted in his attempts to advance beyond the semifinals on “American Idol,” according to an NBC network update on the artist.
