CNN —Jamie Foxx told a packed audience at a taping for his Netflix special that he had a “near-death experience” and was in a weeks-long coma during his mystery health crisis that had him hospitalized in 2023.
He said it was a near-death experience,” Demecos Chambers, a longtime fan of Foxx who attended the standup taping in October, told CNN, sharing what the Oscar and Grammy winner said onstage.
Adding to the secretive nature of the standup special, Netflix is not sending members of the press advance screeners.
Foxx is also not doing any interviews before the special premieres, according to the streamer.
Chambers said that Foxx puts on an impressive show, during which he performs standup, dances, sings and plays the piano.
