"Jason Derulo has revealed that he turned down the lead in a Jimi Hendrix biopic to concentrate on his music. The singer told the Daily Record that he had received a number of offers to appear in projects since &amp;#039;Whatcha Say&amp;#039; was released in 2009, but that he had decided to concentrate his efforts on music. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve turned down a lot of movies and commercials and one of them was for an autobiography of Jimi Hendrix playing the main man,&amp;quot; Derulo explained. &amp;quot;That would have been really cool but I can&amp;#039;t do it because I&amp;#039;m trying to balance my album and tour.&amp;quot; The 21-year-old added that his work has been set back after developing a throat condition. &amp;quot;My throat doctor has put me on vocal rest for five days... If I don&amp;#039;t let my vocal cords heal, I may develop a serious problem. It&amp;#039;s such terrible timing, as I&amp;#039;m trying to complete my album,&amp;quot; he commented.
