The Marvel actor and "Hurt Locker" Oscar nominee previously released the gritty rock track "Heaven Don't Have a Name" earlier in the summer of 2019, and his EP "The Medicine" was released in March 2020. His new music collection appears to have title "Love and Titan", a reference to how he has addressed his recovery in interviews. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jeremy Renner (@jeremyrenner) "A collection of music we've written about various milestones in my recovery journey since January 1st of this year," Renner wrote in an Instagram post showing part of the album's artwork. “'Love and Titan' was painful, deeply healing, and ultimately cathartic for me. I hope I get the courage to share with you all.” The album art was accompanied by the text "coming soon", although Renner's announcement did not include any further release plans. Renner was hospitalized for blunt force trauma to the chest and orthopedic injuries in early January after his Sno-Cat, a large snow plow that weighs at least 14,330 pounds, ran him over. The actor was trying to help his nephew out of the snow near his Lake Tahoe home when the Sno-Cat crushed him. His injuries included eight broken ribs in 14 places, a broken right knee and ankle, a broken tibia in his left leg, a broken left ankle, a broken right collarbone, a broken right shoulder, and more. "I chose to survive. There's no way that's going to kill me,” Renner told ABC News in March about the accident. “I lost a lot of flesh and bone in this experience, but I was charged and filled with love and titanium. In the following months, Renner used social media to update fans on his recovery process and extensive physical therapy. At the world premiere of his Disney+ series "Renervations" in April, Renner was able to walk the red carpet with a cane. “I was really adamant that they weren't going to push [the world premiere] while the brass at Disney, with us, with the timing in our lives. It just felt right,” Renner told Variety at the time. “I look a little beat up right now, but I promise you this show is what drives me to get better and makes me get better every day. I made it my goal to walk on this carpet. And I'm enjoying it here. Otherwise, it would go into a dateless abyss and lose traction and excitement, and I would be very, very, very frustrated. I'm very excited right now because we're here."Jeremy Renner Working On Music Inspired By His Snow Plow Accident Lori Harvey Deletes Every Photo of Michael B. Jordan From Her Instagram
