American musician Jason Derulo recounted a harrowing experience from 2013 when he broke his neck in the gym after falling on his head during rehearsals for his global tour. The tragic incident forced him to cancel the tour.
Speaking on the most recent episode of Paris Hilton’s ‘I Am Paris’ podcast, Derulo expressed his fear at the time, thinking it might have been the end for him. He revealed that his rehabilitation process lasted seven months.
“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.”
“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?’”
