Country music newcomer Blanco Brown is in the ICU after a head-on car accident near his home in Atlanta, that happened on Monday night (8/31).

Here is the statement from BBR Music Group, Brown's label, in full:

"BBR Music Group’s beloved Blanco Brown, the artist behind 2019’s worldwide viral smash 'The Git Up' and current hit 'Just The Way' was involved in a head-on collision Monday night near his home in Atlanta, GA. The accomplished writer, vocalist and Grammy-nominated producer suffered significant injuries and was transported to a local hospital where he underwent a 12-hour surgery to address those traumas. Additional surgeries are expected as he currently rests in the ICU. Blanco, his family and his friends ask for your prayers during this time."
