In October, Foxx wrote on Instagram about his emotional experience discussing his April 2023 health scare on stage.
"My heart and my soul is filled with nothing but pure joy," he said.
"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," Foxx added in his post.
"When people ask me is this a stand up comedy show I say no it's an artistic explanation. Of some thing that went terribly wrong, but thanks to the great people in Atlanta especially piedmont hospital you enabled me to come back and be on stage and do what I love to do the most," Foxx shared.
At the time Foxx was hospitalized, his daughter spoke about his condition, revealing that the actor is recovering after facing a "medical complication." Foxx has never disclosed what he was hospitalized for.
"We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time," she said.
Foxx's hospitalization set off wild unconfirmed rumors that it was somehow linked to Diddy.
