Singer Jason Derulo is really counting his blessings tonight after suffering a fall yesterday that almost left him paralyzed.
Derulo landed on his head during rehearsal, fracturing one of his vertebrae and nearly winding up paralyzed from the incident.
In a tweet sent from Derulo’s twitter account, he says “I fractured my neck doing tumbling & acrobatics 4 tour! Always tryin 2 push boundaries 4 YOU! Like my new chain?”
The message was accompanied by a photo (below) in which Derulo is seen on a hospital bed with a neck brace weighing his head down.
The injury happened while Derulo was preparing for his upcoming “Future History World Tour.”
As a result of the accident, the tour has been cancelled and all tickets will be refunded.
Derulo issued a statement saying:
“To all my fans who planned to come to the Future History World Tour, the pain of letting you down cuts me way deeper than this injury I’ve sustained.
“My fans mean everything to me, so I’m praying for a speedy recovery in order to perform for you in the near future.”
