Singer-songwriter MIKE POSNER, who has embarked on a trip to walk across AMERICA, has met with a surprising obstacle, reports USA TODAY. Starting in ASBURY PARK, NJ -- with a goal of walking all the way to VENICE BEACH, CA -- the "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" singer, 31, got all the way to COLORADO, where he was bitten by a rattlesnake.

Sending an tweet from a local hospital where he was taken, POSNER wrote, "Crazy day yesterday! I had just crushed 16 miles and was going for eight more when I got [bit] by a baby rattlesnake! That venom is no joke!" he wrote. "I got to the hospital and got the anti-venom in time ... I’ll be here a few days and will not be able to walk for several weeks but enjoying the AC and the nice bed, haven’t had those in a while Hahahaha!" he added. "Can’t wait to get back on The Walk! KEEP GOING!!!!!!"

POSNER has been releasing a new song in each state he crosses into. He is currently on mile 1,800 of 2,833, according to his INSTAGRAM bio.
