Jelly Roll is a tough cookie, shares truth about current rehabilitation | Music City Minute

Mar 3, 2026, 3:51 PM

In the event you needed a country music artist to keep a secret, consider Jelly Roll your Huckleberry. That said, the “Need a Favor” singer has opened up about painful information he has held close to vest. For over a month, Jelly Roll has been quietly undergoing treatment and rehabilitation. But, hold on, it is not what you are thinking. Just before the Grammy Awards, the country rocker was in a serious accident, breaking his collarbone and totaling his ATV. After seeing an x-ray of the injury and considering the amount of pain he would have been in, it is remarkable the 41-year-old even made it to the Grammys days later. Even though the award ceremony was a personal and professional high for Jelly Roll, he admits he was barely keeping it together, describing how anytime someone came in for a hug, he wanted to cry. On the side note, unfortunately, ATV accidents within the country music community regularly occur. Indeed Jelly Roll, Matt Ramsey of Old Dominion and Zach Bryan could start an ATV crash club, but instead of in a jacket, inductees would receive a personalized, members-only cast.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
