Foxx had been shooting a movie with Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz when he suddenly fell ill.
At one point the teary-eyed star admitted to his live audience after declaring he was "back": "You don't know how good this feels."

Foxx believed he was dying after suffering the stroke which saw him lose '20 days'.
He said it started as a "bad headache" before he went to a doctor, where he received a "cortisone shot", a steroid injection.
The star said his sister Deidra Dixon "knew something was wrong" as he was lethargic, and took him to the hospital.
"She didn't know anything about Piedmont Hospital, but she had a hunch that some angels were in there," he added.
"Atlanta saved my life."
Addressing why his family wanted to keep details of his health scare to themselves, he said: "I was dizzy from the stroke, so my head would bob around, and my family thought everyone would 'meme the f---' out of me."
