First the good news: DJ Jerome's life is no longer in danger. This was announced by his wife Anni and his management on the 41-year-old's Instagram page.

"Unfortunately, Jerome had a serious traffic accident through no fault of his own. He is currently in hospital and is receiving the best possible care, fortunately there is no longer any danger to his life. He will therefore unfortunately not be able to perform live for an indefinite period of time," reads the message on the musician's Instagram page. Nevertheless, his new single "I'll Be There" will be released as planned on December 8. "We have high hopes that Jerome will be able to get back to you in person before then."
DJ Jerome made a guest appearance on the casting show "X Factor", which was broadcast on Vox, in 2012. Here he supported Scooter frontman H.P. Baxxter on the jury.
