Jason Derulo recalls 'darkest times of his life'

Jason Derulo recalled the time when he took seven months break after he broke his neck in 2013 and called it the "darkest time of life."

The 35-year-old singer recently opened up about his injury which occurred when he was practicing one of his dance moves for his Future History World Tour but accidentally fell over and broke a vertebrae in his spine.

Recalling his darkest time of life he told Jamie Laing on the Great Company Podcast, "My darkest time was definitely when I broke my neck, that was for sure the darkest."

"So, I was preparing for my tour and I was working on these back tucks for stamina. So, we're doing back-to-backs, we would stop for a while, take a break, and we'll do like 20, back-to-back and I slipped on one and I bailed. You're never supposed to bail, even if you slip, you're supposed to keep going. I bailed (and) fell on my head and I heard a crack and I was just like, oh s***," Derulo detailed.

"I felt a huge heat in my neck and I was just thinking in my head like damn, what just happened? Did my life just end?" he continued, "So (we) get to the hospital, and we have X-rays overnight, and the doctor comes and says "You have a hangman's break."

The situation forced the Talk Dirty singer to take a seven-month break and being early in his career at the time Derulo was doubtful of the time off.

"So (I) had to cancel the entire tour and then I didn't know what to make of the rest of my time.I didn't know what the rest of my life was gonna look like. I didn't know whether I could take that kind of time off," he said adding, "You know this was pretty early in my career."
