Jelly Roll and wife Bunnie Xo have revealed he attended last month’s Grammy awards with a broken collarbone.
Both the 41-year-old music artist and 46-year-old internet personality – who has been promoting her new memoir – took to social media on Sunday to reveal he was in an ATV accident in late January.
Jelly Roll, real name Jason DeFord, shared an Instagram video in which he said, ‘I was out there running all over the Grammys with a broken collarbone. Every time I hugged somebody that week, I wanted to scream. I just didn’t say it, but every time somebody squeezed me, dude, I thought I was gonna cry.’
He added about his four-wheeler, ‘Just took this thing out for the first time since I flipped it.’
Bunnie shared a video of her husband propped up in a hospital bed with a brace around his neck. ‘My little ATV wrecker,’ she said in the clip.
She captioned the post, ‘This happened in January, worst phone call to ever get. But we got thru it thank goodness & he’s healed completely.’

Bunnie wrote over her recording, ‘When your hubby snaps his collarbone in half after flipping an ATV & thinks he’s so tough w/ a neck brace on,’ adding a crying laughing emoji.
DeFord’s Instagram video was captioned: ‘I’ve been keeping a secret from y’all…’
He explained to his 5.8 million followers that he wanted to get back behind the wheel to keep his anxiety from growing.
‘I was so scared to get back on this thing, y’all. I just knew that if I didn’t get back on it sooner or later I was just going to be more and more afraid of it,’ he admitted.
The star also noted that he thought he’d totaled the quad, but was able to have it fully restored.
‘Whoever did this for us, thank y’all,’ he said before crediting American Motor Sports in Dickson, Tennessee.
The singer-songwriter won Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken at last month’s award show.
DeFord also earned a Grammy Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for his contribution to the song Hard Fought Hallelujah. And he took home a trophy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Shaboozey for Amen.

Bunnie opens up about her sex life with DeFord in her new book Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, published February 17.
She said they faced intimacy challenges before the Son of A Sinner hitmaker lost 300lbs.
‘We always had a sex life, but there were mountains and valleys that we had to go through, especially when he was so big,’ she recently told Us Weekly.
Now that he’s shed the weight, she said ‘his new zest for life’ is ‘so childlike and just giddy’ and now she gets to see him ‘be the man that I always saw that he was.’
‘Even when he was 500 pounds, this dude was an agile, big guy. I’m like, “You are athletic under that meat suit.”
‘Now that he has the weight off of him, he just gets to be who I always knew that he was, and I think it’s brought a new sense of happiness to him. Any time he’s happy, I’m happy,’ the star, real name Alisa DeFord, shared.
The couple will celebrate 10 years of marriage in August.
