Jamie Foxx is set to address his serious medical emergency when he takes to the stage for “One More Chance: An Evening with Jamie Foxx.”


In April 2023, the actor was taken to hospital after suffering a “medical complication” while working on the Netflix movie Back in Action, which halted the production.


Foxx recently made comments about what happened but hasn’t fully addressed why he ended up in the hospital, only sharing in a video posted to X that he was given a “cortisone shot” and that the doctor told him “something’s going on up there.”

However, he’s set to go into more detail about the scary ordeal with the new comedy show taking place on Oct. 3, 4 and 5, in Atlanta, with “ticket information coming soon.”


“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 humour, heart, and inspiration,” a description of the show posted to his Instagram page teased. “Experience Jamie Foxx like never before in this intimate and engaging performance, as he opens up about his struggles, triumphs and everything in between. Get ready for a night of laughter, reflection and genuine connection.”

At the time, Foxx’s daughter, Corinne, took to social media to reassure fans.

“We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” Foxx’s daughter explained in a statement written on behalf of her family.

“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,” the statement continues. “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”
