Why Is Hank Williams Jr Without Hat And Sunglasses?

But lately, he was encountered in public without his usual hat and glasses and his eyes were visible for the first time.

He had seen a snowfield about a thousand feet below it and tried to cross it but the snow underneath him gave way, which made him fall down the mountain about 500 feet.

While falling his face struck a boulder causing fractures in his skull in various places. The impact of the fall was so great that his nose, teeth, and jaw were broken to pieces and his eye was hanging out of the socket.

It was due to this incident and injuries that Hank has always kept his appearance with Hat and Sunglasses.
