Country singer Sundance Head, who won Season 11 of 'The Voice,' was injured by a stray bullet at his ranch in Texas on Friday, his agent said. Head, 46, was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Tyler, where he was recovering after being stabilized, agent Trey Newman said in a statement. The round lodged in a fatty area of Head's stomach, he said. No surgery was scheduled. 'We are awaiting further details of this accident,' Newman said.
'At this time we don’t have info on exactly how it happened but are 100% positive it was not self inflicted,' he said. A spokesperson for the Smith County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to a request for more information. Head posted a photo of the inside of a large tent early Friday, stating, “Woke up this morning to the sound of silence.” Head was coached by Blake Shelton when he won 'The Voice' in 2016.
