Jason Derulo recently revealed a harrowing experience from 2013 when he nearly lost his life while preparing for a major tour. In a candid conversation with Paris Hilton on her podcast, Derulo recounted the moment he broke his neck during intense training sessions to get in shape for the tour.
The incident occurred when Derulo’s trainer encouraged him to perform numerous backflips on a plank. He recalled the horrifying sound of his neck cracking upon landing, immediately realizing the severity of the injury. Despite the pain and fear, Derulo managed to stay composed to avoid alarming his mother, who was waiting outside the gym.
“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,” Derulo shared. He gently informed his mother about the injury, trying to maintain a calm demeanor despite the excruciating pain every time the car hit a bump on the way to the hospital.
Reflecting on the aftermath of the injury, Derulo emphasized the challenges he faced during recovery but highlighted his determination to stay productive and focus on his health and diet. The incident served as a pivotal moment in his life, prompting him to prioritize his well-being while continuing his career in music.
Derulo’s candid account sheds light on the risks associated with rigorous physical training and underscores the importance of caution and professional guidance in such endeavors.
