Marriann told me that while Derek was practicing he fell back and hit some band equipment. She said he fell on his back and hurt his neck. Marriann was of course worried for her son, especially since this isn’t the first time that’s it’s happened.

Marriann does massage and so it’s a good thing she’s in California with Derek. She said she needs to get in there and do a good massage on his neck and back. Always the mother.

Last night Derek and the Hough family went to a thing at Disneyland for Miley Cyrus, but he wasn’t feeling very good and so he went home early.

The good news is that Marriann said he will be performing on tonight’s show.

Marriann also said that tomorrow’s show includes something very exciting for her as a mother. Remember to vote tonight!
