On Monday, Foxx, 56, shared snaps on Instagram from his one-man show “One More Chance: An Evening with Jamie Foxx,” which took place in Atlanta over the weekend.

He added: “I have to thank you, Atlanta, for showing up and showing yourself. I haven’t been on stage in 18 years, but I needed the stage and I needed an audience that was nothing but pure love, and this is it. “That was you.”

“I was gone for 20 days,” he explained, before admitting he couldn’t remember “anything” of what happened.

The “Django Unchained” star hasn’t revealed the details of his health scare. But he walked Corinne down the aisle when she married Joe Hooten last month.

He also returned as host of Fox’s musical game show Beat Shazam with Corrine – during his absence, Nick Cannon and Kelly Osbourne temporarily stepped in to keep the show running.
