His agent said the country singer was on a hunting trip Friday when he was struck. He was back home Saturday, his Facebook page said.

Country singer Sundance Head, who won Season 11 of “The Voice,” was injured by a bullet at his ranch in Texas on Friday, his agent said.
Head, 46, was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Tyler, agent Trey Newman said in a statement. He was released late Friday and was back home, according to a post on his verified Facebook page Saturday.
The round lodged in a fatty area of Head’s stomach, Newman said. Head’s wife, Misty, said on the Facebook page that surgery would be unnecessary.
The bullet, described by the page as a round from his .22 firearm, could have caused serious damage if it struck the area of his body just outside the wound profile, according to Saturday’s statement.
“I’m posting a pic of his shirt just so y’all can see how lucky he was,” the statement reads. “Any higher or lower would have been devastating.”
It added, “No internal damage was done by the bullet. Thank you all for the prayers.”
The page described the shooting as an accident.
Newman said Friday the round may have come from a nearby hunter’s errant gunfire, but Head’s Facebook page later said he had grabbed his own firearm from his vehicle when it “came out of its holster and hit the exterior of the Jeep just right and went off.”
“Sundance said it happened so fast and he could see the bullet dislodging,” the statement read.
The singer didn’t have his phone in his pocket so “he took off down the driveway out to the main road to flag a car down for help,” the post said.
Head flagged down multiple vehicles before one stopped, turned around, and ultimately contacted first responders on his behalf, according to the statement.
A spokesperson for the Smith County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to a request for more information Friday.
Head was coached by Blake Shelton when he won “The Voice” in 2016. He toured with Shelton the next year, released an album in 2022 — one of four in his career — and returned to the show for Shelton’s send-off last year, according to his show bio.
Though Head’s father, Roy Head, was a noted musician, the singer didn’t start to make inroads in music until he was 33. By the time he reached “The Voice” for Season 11, he had been thwarted in his attempts to advance beyond the semifinals on “American Idol,” according to an NBC network update on the performer.
