Jason Derulo hospitalised with leg injury

Jason Derulo was hospitalised and needed 20 stitches after injuring his leg at a French nightclub last night (06.02.16).

The 'Talk Dirty' hitmaker was given 20 stitches after cutting open his limb while dancing at a post-gig party at Le Loft Metropolis in Paris last night (06.02.16). Jason's girlfriend, 28-year-old Daphne Joy, shared a string of posts on her Snapchat account which showed the 26-year-old singer receiving treatment.

In one video, she said: ''We ended our night in the ER. We have so many people catering to my baby.'' She then asked Jason, who appeared to have been given medication to ease his pain, how he felt, and he said: ''I'm feeling woozy...''

He could then be heard groaning as doctors attended to his leg wound, and admitted he was worried it would affect his tour. He asked medics: ''Do you think I can bear it for the people? Thousands of people are waiting...''

His model girlfriend acted as translator and reassured him: ''They say 'Yeah I think you can'.'' The 'Want to Want Me' singer recently spoke about a near-death experience he had during his 2012 world tour. Jason fell on his head during a rehearsal and admitted he was ''lucky'' to recover.

He said: ''I broke the C2 vertebrae, It's called a hangman's break. I was lucky to be walking and to be alive even, you know it's a very serious injury.''
