The Season 7 champ of “The Voice,” Craig Wayne Boyd, 35, nearly died in childbirth – and that’s just the first of his many lifelong struggles!
The Texas-born singer from Mesquite revealed his stunning secret after he advanced to the Top 12 on the NBC show.
“There is one thing the fans don’t know yet – and I haven’t really talked a lot about it – but I was born with both my lungs collapsed,” Craig confided. “I was the biggest thing in the ICU (intensive care unit)!
“I’m thankful every day that I can sing.” Craig, who’s the father of a young son, Jaxson, 2, has struggled to get to the top.
He worked as a valet car parker and a staff songwriter for EMI Music while trying to launch his own career in Nashville.
Things were so tough that the hunky singer was ready to throw in the towel.
