When you have to go, you have to go. Performing on stage is a lot of pressure, and it's not a job you can just pop off and take a toilet break with either. Jelly Roll has opened up a little too much about a bathroom emergency he once had on stage.

Obviously, normally, an act will use the toilet before they go on stage. But sometimes they get caught short, resulting in some embarrassing moments. It's not often, but it only needs to happen once to be remembered forever.
It was on The Jennifer Hudson Show that Jelly Roll opened up about his on-stage bathroom disaster. With no shame at all, he admitted "I pooped myself one time. I did... I'm sorry. Listen, it was what they call a sh*rt. I didn't know. I was confident it was all air. I'm so sorry, I watched this crowd go from loving me to just being completely out. I overshared again."
He totally didn't need to share that information, but now it's out there in the world. We all know that Jelly Roll pooped himself on stage. But he continued his performance nonetheless. He couldn't let the crowd down. They had paid to see the man, soiled underwear or not.
Jelly Roll Has No Shame
It's refreshing to see someone as open and transparent as Jelly Roll often is. He doesn't pretend to be anything other than what he is, even if that means opening up about some rather gross stage accidents.
He's not alone, though. There have been a number of other artists who have admitted to having emergency situations on stage in the past. Once, when Kelly Clarkson was feeling under the weather, she admitted to using a trash can backstage.
In an emergency, she grabbed the can and, as she put it, destroyed it. "I had to run backstage to my quick-change. I grabbed this poor trash can, and boy, I destroyed it. It was bad," she said on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
It's always nice to get to know our heroes a little better. But some things are best left unsaid, I think.
