Recovery

0 Comments

Derulo is released from the hospital and ordered to wear a neck brace for several months. He is forced to cancel all of his upcoming shows and promotional appearances.

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.

Sparks was there every step of the way. Sparks was very instrumental in my recovery. The simplest things that we take for granted, like tying my shoes or putting on a shirt, she was right there for me, he said. That situation brought us very close because I think it takes a very special person to drop everything they’ve got going on in their life, especially someone of her caliber, to come and aide me. That was really special.

Seacrest interviews Derulo during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about neck brace.

The neck brace definitely has some sentimental value and it means so much. He [the French jeweler] took this ugly medical brace and made it into something spectacular.

Seacrest interviews Derulo during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his single Undefeated. 

The fans got to help me write the song. I started writing the song, but I left a bunch of lines blank and the fans have been helping me fill in the lines. The song is now completed, so it’s a collaboration between Coca-Cola, American Idol, the fans, and myself.

Seacrest interviews Derulo during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about performing on American Idol. 

I’m actually really nervous. Because I haven’t really been able to move the top half of my body. So, it’s kind of nerve wracking, but I’m excited at the same time.

 No. It was not exactly love at first sight. We were actually, we were both called to do a show in the Bahamas last year and it was awesome cause we had meet each other before. But there was nothing, like we just saw each other in passing. And then he [Jason] invited me to the after party afterwards.

Seacrest interviews  Derulo during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his single Marry Me. 

When I was writing the song, I actually wrote it to the piano, and I was writing the song with just playing it to Jordin in mind. I was just going to play it for her in the car and never did I intend for it to be a hit on the radio or anything like that.
