Singer Jelly Roll Says He Was ‘Six To Twelve Months’ From D*ath At His Heaviest Weight Of 500 Pounds

Country singer Jelly Roll is opening up about a moment when his health scare became impossible to ignore, revealing he believed his life expectancy was rapidly shrinking at his heaviest weight.

During a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the singer recalled weighing around 500 pounds and feeling dangerously close to d*ath.

“I don’t think I’m making this up when I say I think I was six to 12 months away from missing it,” he told Rogan, explaining that the realization hit as he approached his 40th birthday. “I don’t think I’ve ever met a 500-pound 40-year-old,” he added. “I could feel myself dy*ng.”

Touring only intensified the struggle.

“I travel 280 days a year. At 500-something pounds, 200-something flights a year, 250 flights a year?” he said.

Motivated to change, Jelly Roll committed to daily steps, cold plunges, and basketball during tour stops. His relationship with his wife, Bunnie XO, was also a factor.

“I couldn’t even get aroused. I was so big,” he admitted.

Since 2022, Jelly Roll has lost nearly 200 pounds and is now chasing a new goal.

“I want to be on the cover of Men’s Health by March of 2026,” he previously said.
