Cody Johnson, the country music star, gave fans an update from his home. He had just returned from Houston after a serious surgery. His problem started with a nasty sinus infection that became too much. This infection made his eardrum rupture, which is why he had to go under the knife.
The singer told his fans, “COJO Nation,” that the doctor said the ear surgery went well. Cody now wears a small patch on his ear as he starts to heal. He said he has to go to many check-ups, but he expects to regain all his hearing. This meant he had to stop his 2025 tour.
Here’s An Update From Cody
Fans showed him a lot of love, sending prayers and good wishes. One neighbor wrote, “Well wishes coming to you from your neighbors.” Another fan who had the same operation said recovery was “definitely easier than the ear pain” before the surgery. Cody thanked everyone and said he hopes to see them all again in 2026.
While Cody rests and recharges at home, his music remains available to fans. His need to heal does not stop his new songs from giving listeners something to connect with. This is why he released the studio version of his fan-favorite song just before his break.
