Jelly Roll Says He Was Sent to a North Carolina Hospital for Sinus Infection Days Before Bunnie XO Divorce News

Jelly Roll said he was taken to a North Carolina hospital to address a sinus infection shortly before news of a divorce involving his wife, Bunnie XO, began circulating. In a report published June 18, Billboard said the singer described the timing of his medical visit and the steps doctors took to help him recover while he remained on tour.

According to Billboard, Jelly Roll told fans that doctors gave him steroids last week to help him regain enough health to continue the tour. He also described feeling unwell while traveling and said the medical treatment was part of his effort to stabilize his condition.

Billboard reported that Jelly Roll thanked Post Malone and his circle from the Big Ass Stadium Tour 2 for a gesture that he said arrived while he was dealing with the illness. He referenced receiving a large floral bouquet, which he described as coming from Post Malone’s tour mates.

The Billboard report places the hospital trip and recovery efforts in the same short window as the breakup reporting involving Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO. The outlet’s description does not include the underlying legal filings or specific court dates, and readers did not receive details in the material provided here about the divorce process itself.

Jelly Roll’s comments frame the episode as both a health matter and a logistical one, reflecting the strain of touring schedules when an infection affects breathing, rest, and performance readiness. The report indicates the singer used the hospital visit and follow-up care to pursue recovery without stopping his touring obligations entirely.

For audiences, the incident highlights the kinds of contingency planning that can arise during major concert runs, particularly when performers need medical attention close to show dates. It also underscores the role of touring crews and co-billing artists in providing support, including on-the-road gestures that can help maintain morale during setbacks.

Billboard did not provide additional confirmed details in the material provided here about whether the tour’s schedule changed because of the hospitalization. The next publicly relevant steps would depend on later disclosures from the artist or his representatives about medical status and any changes to show timing, as well as any court or official records related to the divorce reporting.
