American singer Jason Derulo has shared the story of breaking his neck while rehearsing for his world tour in 2013.
Speaking on Paris Hilton’s ‘I Am Paris’ podcast, Derulo revealed he was training in the gym when the accident occurred, forcing him to cancel his tour.
“I broke my neck in 2013,” he recalled. “I was getting ready for my world tour and working with this trainer. He was like, ‘Today, we’re going to work on endurance, so I need you to do these back tucks back-to-back.’ I slipped during one of the back tucks, and I landed on my head, breaking my C-2 vertebrae.”
He described the moment, saying, “As soon as it happened, I heard a big crack, and I was like, ‘Holy s**t, is this it? Is this how it all ends?’”
Derulo’s recovery took seven months, a period he thought might be the end of his career.
