Jamie Foxx on the new show about hospitalization after the first performances

“I needed the stage and I needed an audience that was nothing but pure love,” Foxx said alongside a carousel of footage from the performance.

Jamie Foxx is finally sharing the full story behind the medical emergency that left him hospitalized last year. Earlier this month, Foxx played three shows in Atlanta, where the emergency occurred, and in a new Instagram post, he talked about the experience of finally sharing his saga on stage.

“My heart and soul are filled with nothing but pure joy,” Foxx said of getting to “tell my side of the story,” along with a carousel of footage from the performance. The actor/comedian noted that it was not only his first time on stage since his hospitalization, but his first time on stage in 18 years.

“But I needed the stage and I needed an audience that was nothing but pure love and that’s what you were,” he continued. “When people ask me if it’s a comedy show, I say no, it’s an artistic explanation. From something that went very wrong, but thanks to the great people of Atlanta, especially Piedmont Hospital, you allowed me to come back and be on stage and do what I love to do the most.”

Foxx hasn’t shared many details about the performance yet, but the handful of photos he shared offer some hints. Along with some stand-up and monologues, it looks like the show will also feature some musical sections. In one photo, Foxx is sitting behind a piano, while in another, he watches as his 16-year-old daughter Anelise plays the guitar.

Foxx was hospitalized with an undisclosed medical complication last April while filming the Netflix action comedy Back to action with Cameron Diaz (the film will be released in January 2025). While details remain scarce, over the summer the Oscar winner was caught on camera telling a group of people that he remembered having a headache, asking a friend for an Advil, and then being ” gone for 20 days.” I don’t remember anything.”

Foxx was released from the hospital in May and began talking a little about what had happened on social media in the months that followed. She returned to the public eye in December and then announced her stage show about her emergency earlier this year. Speaking about the project at the 7th Annual Special Achievement Awards Luncheon of the Association of African American Film Critics, Foxx said, “Everybody wants to know what happened and I’m going to tell you what happened, but I have to my way.”
