Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks at the OK! magazine Pre-Grammy Party
Jason Derulo has "really grown up" since breaking one of the vertebrae in his neck while rehearsal for his planned2012 tour.
The 'Talk Dirty' singer suffered a huge setback when he snapped one of his vertebrae while rehearsing for a tour in 2012 - an injury that could have left him paralysed - and since he has healed he looks upon life differently.
Speaking at the US edition of OK! Magazine's Pre-Grammys Party this weekend, He said: "It was a very, very crazy experience, obviously breaking your neck is not something you think is ever going to happen to you, but I learned a lot from it man, and I feel like I've really grown up from it."
Life is now a little bit different and he no longer takes moments for granted, but he still decribes the journey as being really cool. Since the injury he has had top ten and number releases, and sits in a really good place.
Jason - who also performed at the party, singing hits including 'Ridin' Solo', 'In My Head', 'The Other Side' and 'Whatcha Say' - has previously said his relationship with Jordin Sparks, who introduced him on stage, got serious when she helped him with his recovery, and they both have matching tattoos to show their commitment to each other.
"Jordin and I both have the same tattoo, saying 'more than yesterday' and it means I love you more than yesterday, and also means I strive to be more than yesterday."
Other stars to attend the event included Lance Bass, Mike Posner and the stars of reality show 'Vanderpump Rules'.
