Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes has revealed he was close to death after collapsing at his home. The 52 year old Australian star shared some shocking snaps of his injuries with his fans on Instagram as he explained what had happened at his home in Santa Monica, California.

The Truly, Madly, Deeply singer showed off his swollen face covered in bruises after breaking his jaw in the accident. He also shared an image of an X-ray, showing the metal plates that had been put into his jaw. He captioned the post saying: “I lost consciousness – I fainted shortly after getting out of bed and collapsed three times, losing consciousness each time.”

He added: “The blunt force trauma was so severe it snapped my left jawbone in half. I woke up in a pool of blood, terrible pain in my left side of my head and with nine teeth shattered.”

Praising the medical team, he continued: “I could have died if I landed in a different position. They scanned for and ruled out heart issues and anything neurological.

“I am under incredible care. I have an amazing cardiologist and oral surgeon and we are trying to work out how and why I have been fainting. So far my heart is normal, my arteries are normal and I don’t have a brain tumor or anything that could cause the accident.”

Ruling out any speculation his accident could have been the result of substances including alcohol or drugs, Darren defiantly said: “No judgement to those who partake but I do not take drugs or drink alcohol – this was a complete shock. But we are still investigating. I just wanted my fans to know why I’ll be out of action for quite some time.”

Darren was forced to undergo reconstructive surgery a few days after his accident and was fitted with a titanium brace to reconnect his jaw. His mouth was then wired shut for weeks in a bid to ensure a full and successful recovery.

He added: “I love you folks. I’m so grateful to be alive and every day I’m getting stronger. I’m almost one month post surgery now and I’m only just starting to feel better. I’m so grateful to my loved ones for coming to my rescue and to the doctors and nurses who have treated me with such care.”
