And that's just what happened to Jason, who took to his Twitter and Facebook accounts last night (Jan. 4) to let fans know that he has fractured his neck during tour rehearsal!
The accident occurred when the 22-year-old performer was preparing for his 2012 Future History Tour, practicing "tumbling and acrobatics" for the show. As Jason put it, he was trying to "push the boundaries" and create a dynamic performance for his fans.
After he was rushed to the emergency room, Derulo posted a picture of himself from a stretcher, in a hospital gown with a neck brace. The singer decided to make light of the unfortunate injury by joking, "Like my new chain?" referring to his neck brace.
We hope Jason gets well soon! For more on his story and other entertainment news click over to Entertainment Tonight. And check out his fellow accident-prone pop stars and the stories behind their clumsiest injuries in the gallery bellow!
UPDATE (Jan. 6): Derulo has announced that he has canceled his upcoming tour as a result of the injury that nearly left him paralyzed. He issued this statement to his fans, "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."
