Jamie Foxx suffered a serious health crisis in April 2023, which was caused by a brain bleed that led to a stroke. The incident began with a severe headache, after which he lost consciousness and was hospitalized for about 20 days, during which he has no memory. He was initially given a cortisone shot by a doctor but later taken to Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta by his sister, where doctors discovered the brain bleed and stroke. They performed emergency surgery to save his life, warning that without immediate intervention he could have died. After waking up from the ordeal, Foxx found himself unable to walk and in a wheelchair, requiring extensive rehabilitation. His recovery has been slow but steady, and he has expressed gratitude for the support from his family and fans. Foxx has since shared his experience publicly, including in a Netflix special where he humorously recounts his journey back to health
