Country music tough guy Trace Adkins had to have his finger reattached when he sliced it off with a knife back in the days when he was working on an off-shore oil rig. The singer was trying to open a bucket when the accident happened. He says, "They semi-successfully re-attached it."
The accident-prone singer also broke both his arms, a leg and a handful of ribs and cut his nose off in a car crash. But the worst pain he ever felt came after his ex-wife shot him in a heated
argument in 1994.
Adkins recalls, "She stuck a .38 under my arm. The bullet went through both my lungs and my heart. The reason I'm here is that I lived close to a medical center. I don't believe she meant to do it, so I didn't press charges - our divorce was closure enough."
