Jason Derulo cancels Belfast and Dublin dates

Previously set to play Dublin's O2 and Belfast's Odyssey Arena on March 5 and 6 respectively, US chart-topper Jason Derulo has been forced to cancel all of his touring commitments after injuring his neck last Tuesday. Tickets are being refunded from point of purchase.

The accident happened when the 2011 BMI Songwriter Of The Year attempted an acrobatic move in training and landed on his head, fracturing his vertebra. Doctors told the singer he could have been left paralysed – he now must wear a neck brace for several months.

In a statement, Derulo said: "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.”
