Kane Brown Took Golf Ball To The Head, Resulting in 23 Stitches and ‘Slight Concussion’

Kane Brown is recovering after getting struck in the head by a golf ball in the afternoon of Tuesday, June 23 that led to a “slight concussion” and 23 stitches.

The superstar first took to Instagram stories to share a gruesome photo of a bloody ear with the caption, “Shot to the head by a golf ball.” In his next video he revealed he had to go to the hospital to get checked out and was told his symptoms would likely get worse over the next 48 hours.

He was in relatively good spirits despite the circumstances and was just feeling grateful that the blow to the head did not end up with a worse result.

“I’m alive and that’s all that matters,” he wrote.

Once he was back home from the hospital, Brown shared a more detailed story time to give fans a full update on what went down that day.

“So I got hit in the ear with a golf ball and a lot of people, they think that the ball came over multiple fairways. No, this one, it was my own buddy. I ain’t going to name any names. He feels terrible, but he needs to know that I’m good,” he began.

The “Woman” singer went on to say that the doctor confirmed he had a “split ear and some swelling” but if the ball had just missed his ear and hit the right spot on his head, he could have died from the impact.

“It was about 150 to 180 mile an hour ball, a three-wood slice…We already hit our drives. I’m in the rough. He’s in the fairway…It went just enough time for me to do this,” he said as he motioned covering from the ball. “I mean, I guess technically the best possible place it could have hit me. I’m just glad I’m here.”

Kane Brown was originally scheduled to perform at Nashville’s The Pinnacle later that night as part of the Tight Ends & Friends concert hosted by Tight End University, but ended up pulling out to take care of his health. Two of the evening’s hosts shared the unfortunate news with the crowd before moving on with the star-studded lineup.

He was also set to fly out to Wisconsin this morning to perform at Hoofbeat Country Fest tomorrow, June 25. While Brown still plans to perform, he has opted to take a bus instead of a plane to avoid the pressure of the flight messing with his injured ear.

“I’m probably going to have to do some wedges. I won’t be able to put my in-ears,” he explained. “But yeah, y’all see the blood. It’s no joke. I’m good though.”

Following his appearance in Wisconsin, Kane Brown is currently set to head to Calgary, Canada on June 27 for Country Thunder Alberta.
