Atlanta based rapper, Canon, is hospitalized with a broken jaw, ribs and concussion after an attempted rescue mission went terribly wrong on Saturday night.

According to TheLeafChronicle, Canon, who was just wed in November, was leaving a performance at Faith Mission Ministries in Clarksville, Tennessee on December 20 when he and his manager Brandon Mason spotted a wrecked car on the side of the road. Although they were on their way to a dinner the two pulled over to assist the driver who was still trapped in his car. The driver, disoriented, twisted the ignition key making gas spread rapidly throughout the vehicle.

The fumes now released, forced Canon and Mason to flee from the vehicle because of the possibility of an explosion. Canon then leaped over a rail thinking there was a median in between but because of the darkness of night he could not see and fell 20 feet down onto a creek bed instead.

He was taken by Life flight helicopter to Vanderbilt hospital and was treated for a shattered ankle, a broken jaw and a concussion.

The rapper signed to Reflection Music Group, has been undergoing surgery during the holidays. Both Mason and the driver are uninjured.

"The hard part of this is [Canon] is an artist and this is what the does. He gets paid for performing, and his jaw is wired shut," Jacob Maikish, CEO of RMG, told The Leaf-Chronicle, "We know he will be OK, but it will be a tough road with a lot of rehabilitation, physical therapy and surgeries."

Canon remained hospitalized through Christmas and will have to have his jaw wired shut for a month and will undergo rehabilitation for three-to-five months. He will have to take a break from touring his new record, Loose Canon Vol. 2 but donations are being accepted for Canon to help him financially through this difficult time.

Keep Canon in prayer as he recovers from this tragic situation.
