"I don't know where to start," Adams said in one video. "I got in a really bad car accident. They said I was going about 80, 90 miles an hour, flipped the car a couple times. I wasn't wearing my seatbelt. Fractured my fibula, and I'm blind in my right eye.
"With that being said, I'm still breathing, and if I'm still breathing, I'm still singing and doing what I love most, so we are going to keep going and we are excited about that," he also added. "It's kind of crazy, man. I really shouldn't be here, and I am very blessed to, I guess not really walk away, really crawl away. It's just kind of crazy man. It's crazy that I'm here, and it's crazy that I get to talk to you guys."
The country singer also shared the aftermath of what happened after the wreck. He praised a man for saving him.

"The guy who pulled me out, his name is Aaron," he said. "He's a 21-year-old who was just happening to drive by who pulled me out from the car. He took two pictures, and the reason he took two pictures is because he thought it was going to be the last time that I'd be seen alive, and he wanted to snap the pictures for my family."
According to the country singer, glass pierced through his eye and took his vision.
"The glass that got stuck in my retina, took about eight hours to get out," he said. "It's crazy man, I had like 20 hours of surgery in like four days."
He also thanked everyone for the support that they gave him.
"Thank you to everyone who has reached out, checked in and sent their support over the last few days," it read. "Keaton has undergone multiple surgeries following his accident and is now out of surgery and continuing to receiver care. We're incredibly grateful for the medical teams taking care of him and for the outpouring of support from everyone who has reached out. Right now, the focus is simply on Keaton's recovery. Out of an abundance of caution, all performances scheduled for this weekend, August 14 and 15, have been canceled."
