    Jamie Foxx is filled with "pure joy" after returning to the stage following his 2023 medical emergency

    The 'Django Unchained' actor, 56, was hospitalised in April last year due to an unspecified health condition, and after he and his family spent months staying silent about the details of the illness, a video emerged in July of the star telling fans he had been hit with a "bad headache" on 11 April before he "asked my boy for an Advil" - which he said led to him being "gone for 20 days"


    Jamie has now updated fans again during one of his solo shows he started in Atlanta, Georgia, this month.

    He uploaded an Instagram post on Monday (14.10.24) showing a gallery of photos from his performance - one of which showed him appearing to wipe away tears.

    Jamie also said on the social media platform his "soul is filled with nothing but pure joy".

    He added: "I had an opportunity to tell my side of the story and there was no better place than Atlanta Georgia.

    "I have to thank you Atlanta you showed up and you showed out, I haven't been on stage in 18 years but I needed the stage and I needed an audience that was made up of nothing but pure love and that's what you were."

    Jamie added to fans in the video that emerged in July about his illness: "I don't remember anything... my sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor. "They gave me a cortisone shot. The next doctor said, 'There's something going on up there.'"

    Jamie said in March he was going to address the incident on stage, saying at an African American Film Critics Association awards luncheon: "Everybody wants to know what happened, and I'm going to tell you what happened, but I gotta do it in my way.

    "I'm gonna do it in a funny way."

    Jamie later announced a one-man show and teased that he would share his "journey through a serious health scare, filled with humour, heart, and inspiration".

    But in his Monday Instagram post he cryptically described his show not as stand-up comedy but "an artistic explanation" of something that "went terribly wrong".
