AMERICAN Idol judge and country superstar Luke Bryan took to social media to reveal the details of his gruesome fishing accident.
Although he had to go to the hospital for the injury, he made a full recovery.
Luke Bryan revealed he had a gruesome fish hook accident while out fishing on Tuesday and shared a video of the grisly injury.
Fans were horrified after seeing Luke’s hand pierced all the way through in two spots by the sharp metal.
Luke posted a video that was marked as “sensitive content” because it contained a graphic visual of the wound.
The short clip, captioned with simply “Dammit,” immediately began with a close-up of his thumb, which had blood dripping down it.
Viewers could see part of a fish hook going deep into the skin on the thumb, and when he turned his hand a bit, he showed that a second part of the hook was also piercing through him.
Luke, 44, said in the video: “Well, this is gonna leave a mark. Pretty sure that it’s in my bone.”
Fans of the American Idol star soon took to the comments section to let out their horror over what they just watched.
One shocked follower wrote: “I’m gonna vommit. Holy ouch… just please don’t post a video of taking it out.”
Another said: “That hurt my hand just seeing this! Ouch!!!”
A third wrote: “Worse pain ever!!! Being hooked.”
Meanwhile, some of Luke’s friends and family cracked some jokes over the incident.
His wife Caroline Bryan wrote to him: “I leave your a** for 2 hours and this happens….damn baby.
Fellow country artist Jake Owen commented using one of Luke’s songs, writing: “Huntin, Fishin, lovin every day.”
American Idol’s judges are a trio audiences have come to know and love: Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Katy Perry.
“Katy, Lionel and Luke are fun, astute and really know how to spot talent,” said executive producer and showrunner Trish Kinane on the return of the three judges.
“Their chemistry is undeniable, and we are delighted that they, along with host Ryan Seacrest, are returning to find the next superstar and take American Idol to new heights next season.”
Perry announced her return to Idol in August after giving birth to her first daughter Daisy with fiancé Orlando Bloom.
Similarly, Lionel Richie posted a video of the judges reuniting in October and said that he was “excited” for the new season.
Ryan Seacrest, who has fronted the show since its inception in 2002, returns as host as the season rolls on.
