Jamie Foxx addressed his mystery health scare during a one-man show in Atlanta.

Foxx, 56, took the stage for the first time since his health scare for "One More Chance: An Evening with Jamie Foxx."

"God is good…. As I post these pictures, my heart and my soul is filled with nothing but pure joy…on October 3 fourth and fifth I had an opportunity to tell my side of the story and there was no better place than Atlanta, Georgia," the "Django Unchained" actor wrote Monday on Instagram.

"When people ask me is this a stand up comedy show I say no it’s an artistic explanation. Of some thing that went terribly wrong, but thanks to the great people in Atlanta especially piedmont hospital you enabled me to come back and be on stage and do what I love to do the most…" he added.

Representatives for Foxx did not return Fox News Digital's immediate request for comment.

The Oscar-winning actor chatted with concerned fans in July outside a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, where he attempted to provide answers about what happened when he suffered a "medical complication." 

"Look, April 11 last year, bad headache, asked my boy for an Advil," Foxx said before snapping his fingers. "I was gone for 20 days."

"I don't remember anything," Jamie said to the fans at the restaurant. "So they told me — I'm in Atlanta — they told me, my sister and my daughter, they took me to the first doctor and they said… ‘Nah,’ gave me a cortisone shot.

"The next doctor said, ‘Something’s going on up there.' I won't say it on camera. I won't say it on camera. But it was…" Foxx said as he nodded his head in deep thought.

At the time, production continued with a body double until Foxx returned to set.

The film also marks Cameron Diaz's return to the silver screen after her last starring role in 2014, where she worked alongside Foxx in "Annie."
