Jamie Foxx suffered a serious medical emergency in April 2023 caused by a brain bleed that led to a stroke. It began with a severe headache, and initially, a doctor gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his condition worsened. His sister, sensing something was wrong, took him to Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, where doctors discovered the brain bleed and stroke. Emergency brain surgery was performed to save his life, and Foxx was in a critical condition for about 20 days, during which he has no memory. He was left unable to walk initially and faced a difficult recovery, with doctors warning it would be the worst year of his life. Fortunately, he has been making progress and started feeling more like himself by August 2023. Foxx shared these details in his 2024 Netflix special "Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was..." and expressed gratitude for his sister and daughter who supported him throughout the ordeal
