Jamie Foxx Opens Up About His Near-Death Experience in New Netflix Special
Foxx has not publicly disclosed the specific diagnosis that led to his hospitalization.
During the taping of his special, Foxx revealed to the audience that it was his family who played a crucial role in his survival. Chambers noted that one of Foxx’s daughters played guitar beside his hospital bed when he finally regained consciousness. “The sound of her playing our family guitar is what brought him back and sustained him through his coma,” Chambers recounted from Foxx’s comedy routine. He holds deep admiration for his daughters, who are integral to the show. In reflecting on this experience, Foxx expressed that it provided him with a deeper understanding of life and those around him.
Chambers added that part of the performance includes Foxx sharing not only his personal journey but also how the media covered his health crises. This involves addressing various social media speculations and unfounded rumors regarding claims about being cloned, suffering an overdose, or being poisoned.
Jamie Foxx’s latest Netflix special not only shares the details of his terrifying near-fatal incident but also provides a close examination of his healing process and the personal development that ensued.
