Savage Garden’s Darren Hayes Says ‘Terrible Accident’ Left His Jaw Broken : ‘I Could Have Died’

Savage Garden's Darren Hayes reveals that he had a "terrible accident" and "could have died" from it.

The Australian artist went on to share that he woke up in a pool of blood and had nine teeth shattered, and was taken to an ER in Santa Monica, Calif. “I could have died if I landed in a different position,” Hayes wrote. The musician went on to share that his medical team ruled out any neurological and heart issues, and that he had been feeling lightheaded and experienced fainting spells for some time before his accident; doctors are still investigating for causes to his health struggles. Hayes — who noted that he doesn’t drink or do drugs — had reconstructive surgery on March 21, which included having a titanium brace inserted to reconnect his jaw bones, as well as having his mouth wired shut for at least eight weeks.
