Jason Derulo is three months into a new album, and just days away from hopefully getting his fancy neck brace removed.

The singer spoke to The Hollywood Reporter Wednesday about working on his next album while recovering from a neck fracture.

THR: So what’s next, is the tour going to be rescheduled?

Derulo: I don’t have a tour rescheduled because it’s going to be a whole different tour. While I’m down I’m actually making another album. So that’s been really fun. I’ve been really inspired throughout this whole process. So it will be a new album and then a new tour will be scheduled.

THR: Is there any timing on the album? How far into it are you?

Derulo: I’m pretty far, I’m like three months into it. Since the accident happened I wanted to get into the studio, which was probably not the healthiest thing to do, but I really wanted to. So I don’t have a time on it right now. I felt like in the past things were a little rushed and I don’t want to do that. There’s no time limit, I’m taking my time on it. Really enjoying it for what it is.

Derulo also revealed the cause of his neck injury.

Derulo: Three months is marked on Friday and I go meet the neurologist on Friday. So hopefully he’ll tell me I can take it off then. It’s supposed to be like a three month process with the brace and then actually after that a little bit of rehab.

THR: You hurt it while attempting an acrobatic move — what kind of move were you trying to do?

Derulo: A back tuck, it’s a back flip with no hands. I slipped during the process and landed on my head.
