Jamie Foxx said he will open up about the “serious health scare” that landed him in the hospital in 2023 at his upcoming stand-up show, “One More Chance: An Evening with Jamie Foxx.”
In a post on Instagram from the 56-year-old actor/comedian, Foxx wrote with a tease: “What Had Happened Was”: “An Evening with Jamie Foxx” that will take place October 3, 4, and 5 in Atlanta.
“Join us for an unforgettable one-man show as Jamie Foxx takes the stage to share his journey through a serious health scare, filled with humor, heart, and inspiration!” the post read.
“Experience Jamie Foxx like never before in this intimate and engaging performance, as he opens up about his struggles, triumphs, and everything in between,” it added. “Get ready for a night of laughter, reflection, and genuine connection.”
It comes more than a year after the actor was hospitalized in April 2023 for what, at the time, was described as a “medical complication” by his daughter, actress Corrine Foxx, in a post on Instagram.
In Corrine’s original post, she wrote, “From the Foxx Family: We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time. Much love, The Foxx Family.”
Since that time, very little information as to what Foxx went through those weeks in the hospital has been released.

Earlier this year, Foxx was caught on camera while in Phoenix speaking a bit about what he went through, sharing with fans that he recalled asking for an Advil because of a headache and woke up 20 days later with no memory of what happened.
“April of last year, I had a bad headache,” Foxx said in a clip posted on X. “I asked my boy for an Advil.”
Foxx then snapped his fingers and told the crowd, “I was gone for 20 days … I don’t remember anything.”
“So they told me, I’m in Atlanta, and they told me, my sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor,” Foxx continued, saying that the doctor ended up giving him a cortisone shot.
“Next doctor said, ‘Something is going on up there,’” Foxx added as he pointed to his head.
Foxx did not want to say what exactly the doctor said.
“Yeah, I don’t want to say on camera, but it was…” he added as he trailed off.
During the star’s acceptance speech in March at the 7th Annual AAFCA Special Achievement Awards, Foxx promised to open up about what he went through in 2023.
“I’m so thankful and I get emotional because it’s beyond the scope,” Foxx said during an acceptance speech. “I had some people in my life that really made sure I was here because it was dire straits.”
“I take things differently now because you just don’t know,” he added. “Everybody wants to know what happened and I’m gonna tell you what happened but I got to do it in my way.”
