- Country singer Kane Brown returned to the stage after a June 23 accident.
- He received 23 stitches and sustained a concussion after being hit in the head by a golf ball.
- He seemed to be in good spirits, smiling and signing autographs during his performance.
Kane Brown suffered a serious injury on the golf course that forced him to cancel his June 23 appearance at Tight End University in Nashville. But after 23 stitches and a concussion, he headed back on the road and returned to the stage just days later.
Kane explained in a since-deleted video on Instagram that he was planning to fly to his June 25 concert at Hoofbeat Country Fest in Cadott, Wisconsin. But, after his injury, he decided to play it safe and travel by tour bus instead.
Fans on social media shared videos from the Wisconsin event, and Kane seemed to be in good spirits, singing, smiling, and signing autographs during his performance. He wore a dapper hat that partially covered up his bandaged ear.
He told the crowd that he was hit in the head with a golf ball by a friend. He explained that he was standing out of the way when his friend sliced the ball, and it hit him going 150 mph. “It smacked me dead straight right in the head. But luckily it hit me in my ear. The doc told me if it had hit me in the temple, I wouldn’t be here,” he said. “If it had hit me in the back of the head, I would’ve been a little slower than I am already. God was looking out for me.”
Unfortunately for country music fans, Kane will have an unexpected break in his schedule. He was on the June 27 lineup for the Country Thunder festival in Alberta, but the event was canceled last-minute. According to his website, his next appearance is scheduled for August 8 in Durant, Oklahoma.
Hopefully, this break gives him time to fully heal and recuperate.
