Tue Dec 10 06:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Jamie Foxx Reveals Near-Death Experience and Coma in Upcoming Netflix Special
**Atlanta, GA –** Oscar and Grammy winner Jamie Foxx has revealed details of his mysterious health crisis earlier this year in a new Netflix stand-up special, “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was,” set to premiere next week. According to audience members who attended a taping in October, Foxx disclosed that he suffered a near-death experience and spent several weeks in a coma.
Foxx reportedly told the audience he “passed out” and woke up in a hospital, unaware that he had been unconscious for two to three weeks. He credited his family, particularly his daughters, with keeping him alive, recounting how one daughter’s guitar playing helped rouse him from his coma. He described the experience as “literally within an inch of his life,” emphasizing the critical nature of his condition and the swift medical intervention that saved him.
While Foxx hasn’t publicly disclosed his specific diagnosis, he previously mentioned a “bad headache” and a 20-day period of memory loss. His daughter, Corinne Foxx, previously announced a “medical complication” following his hospitalization during the filming of his Netflix movie, “Back in Action.”
In the special, Foxx addresses the rampant speculation surrounding his illness, including false claims of cloning, drug overdose, and poisoning. Audience members described a dynamic performance blending stand-up comedy, song, dance, and piano playing, with Foxx appearing healthy and active despite his recent ordeal. He reportedly showcased his signature storytelling abilities, using humor to address the serious subject matter.
Netflix is not providing advance screeners to the press, and Foxx is not participating in pre-release interviews, heightening anticipation for the special’s premiere. The special is billed as a “heartfelt return” where Foxx expresses gratitude for the support he received during his recovery.
