The Spaceman artist, who was hospitalized in the wake of the incident, said that ‘day-to-day the improvement has been great’ as the injury ‘could have been a lot worse.
‘It’s one of those frustrating injuries because there’s really nothing you can do about it except just wait it out … I feel very lucky that it was all good in the end.’
The New Jersey native said that amid preparation for the BBMAs, morale has been high as ‘there’s a real joy in the air and you can feel that.
‘I mean obviously things will be a little bit different this year with all the precautions being taken by the BBMAs but I think just adds an extra layer of something special, something to remember, and we’re going to bring some great performances,’ Jonas said. ‘Obviously a really unique set and design and some surprises. So I think this is a must-watch for everybody.’
