Jamie Foxx makes a comeback to the stage and discovers 'pure love'
Jamie Foxx made a triumphant return to the stage after an 18-year hiatus for a profoundly significant occasion. Captivating photos surfaced on social media, showcasing his recent performances in Atlanta, with Foxx in his element, even at the piano. The Oscar laureate expressed, "God is good..."
In a heartfelt caption, he revealed, "As I share these images, my heart and soul brim with unadulterated joy... On October 3rd, 4th, and 5th, I had the chance to narrate my story, and there was no better venue than Atlanta, Georgia. My gratitude is immense, Atlanta, you turned up and turned out. After 18 years, the stage was a necessity, and you, a loving audience, were indispensable."
Clarifying the nature of his performance, he remarked, "When queried if this was a stand-up comedy act, I respond—it's an artistic exposition. Of a situation that went disastrously awry, yet thanks to Atlanta's exceptional people, particularly those at Piedmont Hospital, I was empowered to return and engage in my true passion..."
Back in April 2023, Foxx encountered a mysterious medical predicament, as disclosed by his daughter, Corinne Foxx. The actor was in Atlanta for a film project during the incident. Subsequently, he pursued rehabilitation in a Chicago facility, according to CNN's reports.
In a TikTok video posted in July 2024, Foxx recounted an episode on April 11, 2023, where he suffered a severe headache, prompting him to request an Advil from a friend, after which he "vanished for 20 days." "I remember nothing," he narrated in the video, which was recorded on June 29 in Phoenix.
Foxx further elaborated that he later learned his sister and daughter took him to a physician who administered a cortisone injection. Another medic indicated there was an issue "up there," Foxx gestured to his head. "I won't disclose it on camera," he mentioned in the footage.
Famed for guarding his personal affairs, Foxx sought solitude during his recovery. In July 2023, the star of "Ray" elucidated his choice to withhold details, wishing to avoid being seen in such a vulnerable state by the public.
