One year after his sudden hospitalisation that had his fans and family worried, American singer and actor Jamie Foxx has revealed that he had a brain bleed which eventually led to a stroke.

He revealed this on his newly released Netflix Special titled What Had Happened Was..., stating that it all started with a really bad headache. The actor narrated how one day he had "asked for an aspirin" and blacked out before he could take it.

“April 11, I was having a bad headache and I asked my boy for an aspirin. And I realized quickly that when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the f**k to do,” Before I could get the aspirin I went out,” he said. “I don’t remember 20 days.”

Foxx said after he was rushed to the hospital, he was initially sent back home by medics after being given a cortisone injection. His sister then came over to see him and felt that he wasn't himself so she took him to Piedmont Hospital.
