R&B pop type Jason Derulo has cancelled his forthcoming UK and European tour – due to begin in Glasgow on 23 Feb – after fracturing a vertebra in his neck. Derulo suffered the injury during a dance rehearsal, reportedly landing on his head after failing to properly execute part of his stage choreography. He was told by medics at the Miami-based Memorial West Hospital that the incident could potentially have paralysed him. But it didn’t, so that’s fortunate.

Posting this photo of himself in a neck brace on Facebook, Derulo wrote: “I fractured my neck doing tumbling and acrobatics for [my] tour! Always trying to push boundaries for YOU! Like my new chain?”

Meanwhile, a statement from the singer reads: “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”.

One small consolation; ticket refunds for all cancelled dates are available at point of purchase.
