From breaking a bone to breaking major news, it’s been a busy week for Kris Allen.

The American Idol Season 8 champion was hospitalized yesterday after a car accident, as the singer’s mother Tweeted a photo of her son in traction, including with it the following caption:

“From Kris: he’s in a lot of pain, arm broke, may not play guitar for a while. Prayers welcome please! #headoncollision.”

Allen is due for surgery today, but the artist’s mind may be elsewhere.

 

He took to Twitter himself later in the evening and added: “Thank you @ford for equipping me with a car that kept my whole family @katyallen @ZorroPup and the little one we have on the way safe.”

Wait… what?!? Clarified Allen:

“Yes I got in a really bad wreck tonight and yes I’m having a lil baby. #gonnabeadaddy.”

Hooray! We send our congratulations to Kris and we wish his arm a quick healing. It’s gonna be holding a newborn at some point in the next few months.
