Along with the update, Misty shared a photo of his sleeveless shirt in which he was shot. She said the situation would have been "devastating" if the bullet shot was "any higher or lower." She further expressed her gratitude to all the "messages, calls, and prayers" they received post the news.

In the video, The Voice contestant thanked the healthcare workers at UT Tyler Hospital who saved him and took care of him after the accident. He believed that he was going to die after the accident and called it one of the "craziest things that’s ever happened" to him.

"I have a lot of life left, and that’s what I was telling these ladies and gentlemen that [were] trying to keep me alive during the whole process, man. I just, really, I’m so thankful for the first responders. They did a wonderful job,” Sundance added.

Sundance went on to thank the man who stopped his care to save him while he was bleeding on the ground. He expressed his gratitude for his savior and said that he couldn't have made it without his help.

He further shared that a "dozen cars" passed by him, saw him, and made eye contact. However, none of them stopped their cars to rescue him from his pain.

“So, I am really, really fortunate and thankful for the couple of gentlemen that did turn around, and I want to tell you honestly that I love you and I’m so thankful that you were in my life at that moment. And it wasn’t a chance meeting between us. And I look forward to spending more time with you in the future,” The Voice alum concluded.
