Jason Derulo wishes he’d been in touch with the King of Pop

Jason Derulo has revealed his regret over not having contacted his idol Michael Jackson before the ‘Thriller’ star died.

Derulo had his breakout hit ‘Watcha Say’ shortly after Jackson died of a Propofol overdose in 2009. Looking back, Derulo wished he could have reached out to his idol and made contact.  

He said: ''The call I wish I'd made would have been to my inspiration, Michael Jackson, before he passed away. I didn't know him personally, but he was the reason I started singing and dancing.''

Derulo is gearing up for the release of his upcoming single ‘Talk Dirty’ and is trying to get back in shape for playing live after recovering from breaking his neck during training for a tour.

''I wish I'd said yes when I was offered a pizza the other day. It was a delicious Hawaiian, but I'm trying to keep in shape and the pizza wouldn't have helped. I wish I could say no when I have to get up to go to the gym.''
