Jelly Roll Reveals He Broke His Collarbone in ATV Accident

by

Jelly Roll‘s outing took an unpretty turn.

The singer of “I Am Not Okay” shared that he broke several bones in an ATV accident that happened before the 2026 Grammys.

Jelly Roll explained in a video posted to Instagram on March 1st that this was the first time he’d ridden the vehicle since he injured his collarbone. He admitted he was nervous about getting back on, but felt it was important to face his fear quickly before it got worse.

He was amazed at how good the four-wheeler looked, especially since he’d thought he’d completely wrecked it.

The 41-year-old explained the accident happened right before the February music awards show, where he won three awards: Best Contemporary Country Album, Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Shaboozey, and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song.

You know, looking back on Grammy week was a bit of a challenge! I was actually running around with a broken collarbone, and honestly, every hug felt like a tiny disaster. I kept it to myself, but each squeeze was incredibly painful – I really had to bite back the tears! It was a memorable week, to say the least, but definitely a test of my pain tolerance. As a lifestyle tip, sometimes you just have to power through, even when it really hurts, and keep a smile on your face!

Despite a recent setback, Jason Bradley DeFord, known as Jelly Roll, wasn’t going to be deterred from continuing to take chances.

He explained that the problem wasn’t with the machine, but with how it was being used. Ultimately, it was a user mistake. He finished with a lighthearted reminder to try again and not give up.

The singer of “Bloodline” wasn’t crying at the Grammys just because of his injury. He was actually overcome with emotion, realizing how far he’d come and completing a long-held dream.

He admitted to Zuri Hall during Live From TopMob: Grammys that he was delayed because he needed about half an hour to calm down and process his emotions. He explained he hadn’t had a good cry like that in a long time, and it was a very relieving experience.

Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie XO, always believed he was destined for success. He’s a father to two children from previous relationships: 17-year-old Bailee Ann and 9-year-old Noah, and she knew he’d eventually achieve great things.

She told Zuri, “I truly believe there’s a woman supporting every man. We were actually discussing this on the drive over – it feels like a really bizarre, unexpected story. He claims he didn’t anticipate any of this, but I knew something was happening.”

Jelly Roll loves getting back to riding his ATV, but keep reading to learn about other celebrities who have shared their health challenges.

Former Total Bellas star Nikki Bella shared that one of her breast implants moved after being hit during an elbow strike from wrestler Piper Niven in a match back in July 2025.

She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, saying they would get the issue resolved eventually. She explained to the doctor that as soon as she finished her current commitments – implying after her divorce was finalized – she’d return to address the problem and ensure everything looked its best, because she planned to use it again and it needed to be in good condition.

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. This was the same year she won an Academy Award for her performance in the film.

She didn’t reveal her diagnosis until 2025, sharing on Instagram that she had privately struggled with the condition for over ten years.

She explained that many girls are taught to accept period pain as a normal part of growing up and being female. This often leads to women silently dealing with something that impacts a large part of their lives.

 

In July 2025, the actress from Daisy Jones & The Six revealed she was 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), saying, “You haven’t tweeted in a while!” They then jokingly added, “Have you ever thought that maybe I wore pants so tight six months ago that I got a hernia and have been afraid to tell you?”

The former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery to repair a nearly ruptured appendix.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain which led him to the emergency room. He explained that his appendix had a perforation – 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.”

A Racing Louisville midfielder fell to the ground early in her team’s game against Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field in Seattle.

According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player sat down on the field with a teammate supporting her, and then quickly collapsed. Trainers were called to assess her condition.

Savannah received immediate medical attention on the field and was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests, according to a statement from the National Women’s Soccer League. They reported that she is currently in stable condition and is alert.

Adam Devine revealed that injuries from being hit by a cement truck at age 11 continue to cause him problems even now.

“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 past year, actually.”

He mentioned that his pain is intermittent, explaining that he has some physical imperfections and things that aren’t quite right with his body.

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

He described a strange tingling sensation that reached from his knees to his toes during a March 2025 episode of his podcast, Trading Secrets. He explained that just a few weeks or a month prior, he was able to squat 295 pounds, but now he can’t even do a squat, or even stand on one leg without falling. 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 taken out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

The comedian later posted on social media to explain he’d actually gotten food poisoning and was starting to feel better.

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.

In an Instagram post, she explained that she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a gun unsafely. Thankfully, @thebrendanrooney quickly helped, checking her injuries and getting her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one bullet came dangerously close to her right eye – less than an inch away.

Oh my gosh, you guys, it’s so scary! Apparently, a tiny piece of something got stuck behind my eye – can you even imagine?! The doctors say it’s too dangerous to try and take it out with surgery right now, so they’re just going to keep watching me closely. Thankfully, I can still see perfectly, but I’m, like, totally freaked out about it!

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving a frightening experience. She shared how much she loves her family and friends, saying she realized how precious life is. ‘I saw everything I’ve lived through in a moment,’ she explained, urging everyone to cherish their loved ones and hug them often, because life can change unexpectedly.

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, despite its downsides, because it helped her discover a health issue. After noticing she looked “puffier” during interviews, Schumer was surprised when doctors began commenting on social media, expressing concern that she might have Cushing syndrome. They pointed out changes in her face and suggested a possible link to high cortisol levels or steroid injections. This prompted Schumer to realize she had been receiving steroid injections after a breast reduction and C-section. Without the online commentary, she might never have connected the injections to her condition. Thankfully, doctors determined Schumer has a form of Cushing syndrome that will resolve on its own, and she’s now relieved to be healthy. She shared this positive news in a February 2024 newsletter, calling it the “greatest news imaginable.”

During a December 2024 game, an AHL player was accidentally cut in the face by another player’s skate, requiring 25 stitches to close the wound.

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly began having stroke-like symptoms, initially unable to respond when Justin asked if she was okay. She then realized she couldn’t speak and the right side of her face started to droop.

Although her symptoms briefly subsided, Hailey went to the hospital where doctors discovered she’d had a small blood clot travel to her brain, which they identified as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack).

Further testing at UCLA revealed Hailey had a hole in her heart, called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Doctors determined the blood clot had passed through this hole and traveled to her brain, causing the TIA.

Hailey underwent a successful procedure to close the PFO and is now recovering well.

It was a really tough year for both Justin and Hailey. Not long after Hailey’s health scare, Justin revealed he was battling Ramsay Hunt syndrome. He shared a video explaining how it had caused paralysis on one side of his face – he couldn’t blink, smile, or even move his nostril on that side. He even said it was becoming difficult for him to eat. It was so scary to see! Thankfully, after a while, the paralysis started to go away. Hailey appeared on Good Morning America and said he was doing really well and feeling much better. It was a random and frightening situation, but she was so grateful he was going to be okay. As a fan, it was such a relief to hear he was recovering!

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 from a severe headache one day while in Atlanta. Before he could even take an aspirin, he lost consciousness and doesn’t remember the next 20 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.

After surgery, Jamie woke up in a wheelchair on May 4th, unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for extensive rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed his gratitude for the prayers he received, saying he needed every single one.

The reality TV star said she temporarily stopped breathing while running a mile during the first challenge on the NBC show.

She shared on the show Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather before everything went dark. Afterwards, she saw light, which led her to realize she had died that day.

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

As a huge fan of Emilia Clarke, I was completely floored when I read her incredibly honest essay in The New Yorker. She described a terrifying experience she went through while filming Game of Thrones. It started with a severe headache at the gym, and she ended up collapsing and being violently sick. She quickly realized something was seriously wrong – she knew her brain was damaged.

It turned out she’d suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a life-threatening stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm. She had immediate surgery, which she described as unbelievably painful. Even after the first surgery, recovery wasn’t straightforward. She struggled with aphasia, finding it hard to speak and often just muttering nonsense. Thankfully, that passed after about a week, and she was able to leave the hospital after a month.

But the ordeal wasn’t over. A scan in 2013 revealed the aneurysm had doubled in size, requiring a second, even more invasive surgery. She woke up screaming from the pain, and doctors told her things were critical – another operation was essential, this time requiring them to open her skull.

It’s such a relief to hear that she’s now fully recovered and at 100%. Her bravery in sharing her story is truly inspiring, and it really puts things into perspective.

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, recently shared how much she appreciates her family’s support after a health scare. In January 2024, she suffered a stroke and immediately reached out to her loved ones, sending them a picture and a message. She told TopMob News that everyone quickly came to her aid.

Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected due to other health issues. While she could have gone home after the stroke, she was also dealing with complications from lupus and kidney problems.

Fortunately, Cori is now recovering well. She says she’s feeling great and has been working to regain some motor skills, but is otherwise doing fine.

Shailene Woodley struggled with significant health issues throughout her early twenties. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she explained that she experienced hearing loss, extreme fatigue – unable to walk for more than five minutes without needing to rest for hours – and persistent stomach pain. She faced confusion as different doctors offered varying diagnoses.

Determined to find answers, Shailene, who has kept her specific condition private, combined traditional medical care with holistic and herbal remedies. This search for well-being lasted for ten years.

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.

Fortunately, after a long journey of addressing both her physical and mental health, Shailene is now feeling much better and is happy to report that she is very healthy.
