_Derulo blesseerde zichzelf tijdens een training naar aanleiding van zijn komende wereldtournee die in Glasgow (Schotland) van start had moeten gaan op 23 februari a.s. Op 10 maart 2012 was er in de Ancienne Belgique een concert gepland dat nu geannuleerd werd. Zo zie je maar dat workouts en atletische verrichtingen niet altijd even gezond zijn.

While executing an acrobatic move, Derulo landed directly on his head, and suffered an acute fracture to his vertebra. After being rushed to Memorial West Hospital in Miami’s Pembroke Pines, FL, he was told by doctors that the accident could have left him paralyzed. Derulo has been released from the hospital but must wear a neck brace for the next few months. Anyone holding tickets for upcoming shows will be refunded at point of purchase.
“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.”
