In an interview with “Billboard“, BLANCO BROWN opened up about his near-fatal motorcycle crash, when he collided head-on with a pickup truck last August. He says the accident was NOT his fault, but he’s not allowed to elaborate.

The scariest moment was being rushed into surgery and hearing a doctor say he wasn’t sure if he would make it. He said, “That was a moment. I could only lay there. I was like ‘Please don’t let me leave.'”
He broke both of his arms, wrists, legs, and his pelvis, and spent almost a month in the hospital.
“I couldn’t turn in the bed. External pipes were sticking out of my body holding my pelvis together. I had to learn how to do simple things [like] feed myself.”
Visitation was tough because of COVID, but family, friends, and fellow artists did their best. Tim McGraw sent a black cowboy hat and signed it, “Love ya, Blanco.”
He says, quote, “What’s so crazy is that day I was really down, just thinking like, ‘Am I going to heal at this rate?’ To tell you the truth, I got the hat and it made me feel great about everything. It made me want to get up, but I couldn’t.”
