Cody Johnson Cancels Concerts for Immediate Eardrum Rupture Surgery

by

Cody Johnson has to put down his microphone for the foreseeable future.

The 38-year-old country singer recently ruptured an eardrum after a bad cold and sinus infection. He’ll need a few months to recover and won’t be performing during that time.

I’m very sorry to announce that I have to cancel the rest of my concerts this year,” he shared in an Instagram post on October 7th. “I’ve been fighting a bad cold and sinus infection, and unfortunately, I ruptured my eardrum. It’s a serious injury that requires surgery right away.

Cody announced that he needs to reschedule his shows to focus on his health and well-being.

It will likely take several weeks to recover, and unfortunately, I won’t be able to sing during that time. Without the surgery, I could have been out of commission for months. I’m hoping for a complete recovery so I can get back to singing as soon as possible.

The singer of “‘Til You Can’t” expressed gratitude to his fans for their support, saying, “Thank you to the COJO Nation for all the love, now and forever.”

Oh my gosh, you guys, I nearly lost it when I heard! Cody actually *told* us the surgery went perfectly, and he’s HOME! He’s back from the medical center in Houston, safe and sound! I’m just…so relieved and happy for him. It’s the best news ever!

I just heard from him – the surgery went really well! He showed me the bandage on his ear and seems so positive. The doctor said he should make a full recovery if he keeps up with all the rehab, and he has a bunch of follow-up appointments scheduled, which is good. I’m just so relieved!

I just wanted to express my gratitude for all the support I’ve received – the messages, calls, and prayers. It really means a lot to me. I’m going to focus on getting some rest and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2026.

Cody’s top priority is getting completely better, and he’s willing to take several months off to do so. He’s also made it clear that he plans to continue performing for as long as he lives.

The singer, known for his song “Dirt Cheap,” shared in 2023 on *The Bobby Bones Show* that he hopes to continue performing and staying active in country music well into his 80s. He wants to have a long career and remain a relevant artist for as long as possible.

And only something this serious could ever stop him.

You know, I always tell people my biggest focus is delivering the absolute best show possible. It doesn’t matter if I’m feeling under the weather, exhausted, or even if my voice is giving me trouble – I consider it my job to make sure everyone in the audience has the time of their life. I told Bobby Bones exactly that – it’s all about giving the fans the best experience, no matter what!

Former *Total Bellas* star revealed that one of her breast implants moved after being hit during an elbow strike from fellow wrestler Piper Niven in a match that took place in July 2025.

Oh my gosh, she actually *said* that! I was reading about it, and she told Bella Garcia, basically, that everything was going to be alright. She even told her doctor – it’s amazing! – that as soon as she was done with her career, she’d be back to get things *fixed*. She was so determined to make everything perfect, because she knew she’d be getting back to it all, and she wanted to look incredible doing it. She was already planning how amazing she’d look when she got back to work, and I just… I can’t even! It’s just so her, you know?

Lupita Nyong’o, known for her role in *12 Years a Slave*, received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus—in 2014, the same year she won an Academy Award for her performance in the film.

She didn’t share her diagnosis until 2025, when she revealed on Instagram that she had been privately struggling with the condition for over ten years.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve noticed a really common issue: so many of us are taught from a young age that periods are supposed to be painful, and we just accept it as ‘part of being a woman.’ It’s incredibly isolating, because we end up dealing with something that affects half the population mostly on our own. It doesn’t have to be that way, and we deserve to feel supported and empowered when it comes to our bodies.

 

In July 2025, the actress from *Daisy Jones & The Six* revealed she’d been hospitalized for a hernia. This happened because she had been wearing pants that were too tight, which caused a gap in her abdominal muscles.

Someone messaged Suki on X (formerly Twitter) asking why she hadn’t posted recently. Suki replied, jokingly suggesting she’d been hiding a serious health issue – a hernia caused by wearing very tight pants six months ago – and was afraid to mention it.

The former star of *Beverly Hills, 90210* shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery because his appendix was close to rupturing.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain which led him to the emergency room. He explained he had a perforated appendix – it hadn’t fully burst, but was very close to doing so.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

During a soccer game against Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field in Seattle, a midfielder for Racing Louisville collapsed after only a few minutes of play.

According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player was seen slowly sitting down on the field with a teammate supporting her, before suddenly collapsing. Trainers were immediately called to assess her condition.

After receiving initial treatment from medical staff at the game, Savannah was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests. League officials reported she was in stable condition and fully conscious.

Adam Devine revealed that he still feels the effects of injuries he suffered as a child when he was hit by a cement truck at age 11.

“It’s been incredibly difficult,” Devine shared on the *In Depth With Graham Bensinger* podcast in 2025. “I’ve been experiencing spasms all over my body, and doctors recently told me I was facing a life-threatening situation—within the last year, actually.”

He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying his body has several minor imperfections and issues.

A former contestant on The Bachelor went to the hospital because of severe back pain. He said the pain was so bad he had to crawl on his hands and knees, and it got worse during a road trip with a friend.

He described a strange tingling sensation that still lingered in his legs as of March 2025, sharing this on his *Trading Secrets* podcast. To give some context, he explained that just a few weeks or a month prior, he was able to squat 295 pounds. Now, he can’t even do a squat, can’t balance on one leg, and falls over. He compared the feeling to having a stroke.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Gina Kirschenheiter, from *The Real Housewives of Orange County*, revealed that her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he is recovering well.

In March 2025, the actor from *30 Rock* experienced a medical issue at a New York Knicks game and had to be helped out of Madison Square Garden.

In February 2025, the former *Even Stevens* star revealed she was shot in the face during a birthday celebration for her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a clay pigeon shooting trip when the incident occurred.

According to her Instagram post, she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a weapon unsafely. She wrote that @thebrendanrooney quickly helped her and took her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one of the shots narrowly missed her right eye, coming within an inch of a direct hit.

The *Kim Possible* actress explained that a small piece of something got stuck behind her eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, but they’ll keep monitoring her vision, which is currently normal.

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving and shared a heartfelt message about cherishing loved ones. “I’m so thankful for my daughters, husband, family, and friends,” she said. Reflecting on a near-death experience, she urged everyone to hug their loved ones often, emphasizing how quickly life can change.

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, despite its often harsh nature, because it helped her discover a health issue. After noticing she looked “puffier” and facing criticism online, doctors began commenting on interviews, suggesting she might have Cushing syndrome, a condition often linked to high cortisol levels or steroid injections. This prompted Schumer to realize she’d been receiving steroid injections after a breast reduction and C-section. She wouldn’t have known about the condition without the online feedback. In a recent newsletter, Schumer shared that she’s relieved to learn her case of Cushing syndrome is temporary and that she is otherwise healthy, calling it “the greatest news imaginable.”

During a game in December 2024, an AHL player was accidentally cut in the face by another player’s skate and needed 25 stitches to close the wound. After his son made a full recovery, New Jersey Devils General Manager Tom Fitzgerald shared with ESPN how relieved they were, saying, “We feel very lucky. No parent should have to go through that.”

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly developed stroke-like symptoms, struggling to speak and noticing her face drooping. Although her symptoms briefly subsided, she went to the hospital for evaluation. Doctors discovered she had experienced a TIA, or transient ischemic attack, caused by a small blood clot in her brain. Further testing at UCLA revealed Hailey had a hole in her heart, known as a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The clot had traveled through this hole and reached her brain, causing the TIA. Hailey successfully underwent a procedure to close the PFO and is now recovering well.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also went through a difficult time. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face. This forced him to cancel the remaining dates of his Justice World Tour.

In a video posted to Instagram, Justin explained that the virus affected nerves in his ear and face, causing paralysis. He showed fans that he couldn’t blink, smile, or move his nostril on the affected side, and that it was becoming increasingly difficult to eat. Thankfully, the paralysis eventually went away.

Hailey shared on *Good Morning America* that Justin was recovering well and feeling much better. She described the situation as scary and unexpected, but expressed her gratitude that he was going to be okay.

Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the serious health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had initially kept private. In his 2024 Netflix special, *What Had Happened Was…*, he explained that he suffered a severe headache one day and then lost consciousness. He doesn’t remember the next twenty days.

Initially, a doctor gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, was worried and took him to the hospital. There, doctors discovered he had a brain bleed that caused a stroke.

Twenty days after surgery, on May 4th, Jamie woke up in a wheelchair, unable to walk. He then went to Chicago for extensive rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed deep gratitude for the prayers he received, saying, “I needed every prayer.”

The reality TV star shared that she briefly stopped breathing while running a mile during the opening challenge of the NBC show.

It’s just… hearing her talk about it still gives me chills. She was on this show, *Fit for TV*, and she said she doesn’t remember much, but she *does* remember the helicopter. She said it felt like she was just floating, completely disconnected. And then… her grandpa was just *there*. It’s like he came to get her. After that, she said it was just darkness, but then… light. She *knew*, she actually said she *knew* she had died that day. It’s so heartbreaking, but also… incredibly powerful. I’ve watched that clip a million times.

She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where your body essentially starts to shut down.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in *Game of Thrones*, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for *The New Yorker*. While filming the series, she experienced a sudden, severe headache while at the gym. She described collapsing and being violently ill, realizing something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan quickly revealed she had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm. She underwent immediate surgery to repair it, but the pain was excruciating. During her recovery, she experienced aphasia, leaving her unable to speak coherently.

Though the aphasia eventually passed and she was discharged after a month, a 2013 scan revealed the aneurysm had doubled in size, requiring a second surgery. This surgery was unsuccessful, leading to a major bleed and a dire prognosis. Doctors had to perform a more invasive procedure, accessing her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia is now fully recovered and says she is “at a hundred per cent.”

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, recently shared how thankful she is for her family’s support after experiencing a stroke in January 2024. She immediately contacted them, sending a text and a picture, and they quickly came to her aid, as she told Will Marfuggi of TopMob News in December 2024. While she could have gone home after the stroke, other health issues, including lupus and kidney problems, required a longer hospital stay. Cori is now recovering well, stating she’s doing great and has been working to regain some motor skills. She’s grateful for her family’s help during a challenging time.

Shailene Woodley struggled with significant health issues throughout her early twenties. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she revealed she experienced hearing loss, extreme fatigue – unable to walk for more than five minutes without needing hours of rest – and persistent stomach pain. She described a confusing process of receiving conflicting diagnoses from various doctors.

Determined to find answers, Woodley, who has a background in herbalism, sought a combination of traditional medical care and alternative healing approaches. This search for well-being spanned a decade.

She explained that the physical discomfort led to deeper issues, including fear of food and struggles with body image, identity, and feeling comfortable in her own body.

Ultimately, Woodley’s health improved, and she is now feeling very well. She shared that her issues resolved themselves, and she’s happy to be in a healthy place.
