The 'What If' singer feels "lucky" to be alive following the accident, which occurred when he was rehearsing dance moves, and also appreciates the fact the injury means he has had to take some time off.

He said: "It's called a hangman's break. I'm lucky to be here.
"I view life from a different perspective now. It's another chance.
It's another chance to appreciate life.
"It's been go-go-go for the last few years and it's been an amazing journey and it's been a dream come true but I'm glad the world's slowed down for a second so that I can have a chance to take it in and spend time with my family."
Jason - who is dating singer Jordin Sparks - also claimed his injury has hampered his love life.
He told NME magazine: "Well, the neck is a very romantic part so I haven't been able to use it at all but besides that it's fine."
