What Happened To Tyler Farr?

The 42-year-old confirms he was hospitalized with a severe concussion. His social media post also explains what went wrong. During a songwriter's retreat, he was riding on a truck tailgate.

"Pothole, riding on a tailgate, I was in the middle, had nothing to hold on to," he says adding up factors that led to injury. "See ya."

He adds that he was unresponsive for about two minutes. "It was an accident. It was nobody’s fault. It was not mine because that was the first thing I asked when I became responsive," Farr shares.

Farr enjoyed most of his mainstream success in the early 2010s on Sony Music Nashville, although he later recorded for Jason Aldean's record label, Night Train Records in 2019.

The singer has also written songs for other artists, including "Hey Y'all" for Cole Swindell and "She's Just Like That" for Joe Nichols.

Farr and his wife Hannah got married in 2016. They are parents to one daughter, 5-year-old Hollis Caroline.
