What did Jason Derulo share about his neck injury in 2013?
Back in 2013, ahead of a big tour, Jason Derulo broke his neck while practicing backflips on the plank. Recalling the terrifying incident, the Hands on Me singer shared, “He had me doing like 50 back tucks back to back to back, which is another one of the worst ideas somebody’s ever had.”
The singer further added, “So I slipped during one of the back tucks, and I landed on my head, breaking my C2 vertebrae.”
Derulo claimed that after he fell on his back, he could hear a cracking noise and imagined all kinds of scenarios possible. The singer’s mother was waiting outside the gym, and the Swalla crooner revealed that he tried to stay as calm as possible not to let his mother panic over the situation.
Derulo said, “I did not wanna alarm her, so after five minutes of lying on the ground, I got myself together and walked to the car holding my neck.” The singer continued, “And then I’m like, ‘Mom, I think I hurt myself a little bit’—like with that bright kind of voice — ‘I think I hurt myself a little bit inside; we should probably go to the hospital just to check it out.’”
