Jason Derulo is reportedly 'unable to walk without the help of crutches' after breaking his foot while playing basketball with friends.
The 33-year-old singer is hoping to recover ahead of his Super Bowl performance, but is said to be adamant about powering through even if he's still injured.
Jason is expected to perform on February 12 when Kansas City Chiefs face Philadelphia Eagles at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
However, his headline show has been put at risk by a torn ligament he sustained three weeks ago, with Jason now reportedly relying on the support of a cane.
He is thought to have injured his foot after leaping into the air for a rebound before landing awkwardly on his foot.
