Boldy James was involved in a "serious two-car accident" in his hometown of Detroit last Monday (January 9).
A statement shared via the artist's Instagram account reveals he was admitted to hospital "in critical condition" and underwent "extensive surgery on his neck" to remedy "broken vertebrae in his neck and [orthopaedic] injuries."
Following surgery, Boldy was "removed from the intensive care unit and is now in stable condition." The complete statement reads as follows:
On Monday, January 9th, Boldy James was involved in a serious two-car accident in the Detroit metropolitan area. I can confirm that Boldy arrived at the hospital in critical condition, suffering from broken vertebrae in his neck and orthopedic injuries. After undergoing extensive surgery on his neck, Boldy has been removed from the intensive care unit and is now in stable condition.
Boldy and his family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses that are taking care of him, and also to the communities' emergency medical personnel and first responders.
A representative for the artist confirmed to The Fader that Boldy is "still under supervised hospital/medical care," and that a forthcoming run of tour dates in Europe have since been cancelled.
We wish Boldy James a speedy recovery. His prolific 2022 included a series of Canadian connections: albums Fair Exchange No Robbery with Nicholas Craven and Mr.Ten08 with Futurewave, and appearances on releases by Badge Époque Ensemble and Ev Bird.
