“The Voice” Winner Sundance Head Breaks Silence After Accidentally Shooting Himself: 'I Was Sure I Was Going to Die'

"It was one of the craziest things that's ever happened to me," the singer-songwriter, 46, said in a selfie video shared to Facebook

Jason “Sundance” Head has released his first statement since returning home from the hospital after accidentally shooting himself at his Texas ranch.

The country singer’s agent, Trey Newman, confirmed to PEOPLE that The Voice season 11 winner was hunting in the woods by himself when he received one bullet to the stomach around 4-4:30 p.m. local time on Nov. 15.

Sundance’s wife, Misty Head, shared several updates via his Facebook account, revealing that the “Darlin' Don't Go" singer, 46, was home from the hospital and in stable condition as of Nov. 16 — though she noted he was “bleeding badly through his bandages” during a “rough” three-hour car ride home.

Sundance posted to Facebook to personally update fans on his condition in a self-taped video on Sunday, Nov. 17. He titled the post “Statement - Part 1.”

The singer-songwriter begins his message — which was recorded in front of a Christmas tree at his home — by thanking God and the healthcare workers at UT Tyler Hospital who helped keep him alive during his harrowing experience.

“I was sure that I was gonna die,” he continued, “It was one of the craziest things that’s ever happened to me ... But I really wanted to come on here and tell you guys that I am alive. I’m in a lot of pain. I was shot accidentally in the stomach. I was alone."

“I have a lot of life left, and that’s what I was telling these ladies and gentlemen that [were] trying to keep me alive during the whole process, man. I just, really, I’m so thankful for the first responders. They did a wonderful job,” he went on to say.

Sundance also expressed his deep gratitude for the stranger who stopped to help him while he was “bleeding out” on the side of the road.

“Without you, man, I don’t think I was gonna make it,” he said of the Good Samaritan. “I was bleeding out right there. Didn’t have anyone to help me, and you know, I had about a dozen cars go by and see me and make eye contact, and they didn’t stop.”

“I’m telling you what, buddy, I was at the end of the road,” he continued. “So, I am really, really fortunate and thankful for the couple of gentlemen that did turn around, and I want to tell you honestly that I love you and I’m so thankful that you were in my life at that moment. And it wasn’t a chance meeting between us. And I look forward to spending more time with you in the future.”
