Abdul is featured on the first single off the new album from Jackson, due next month. The song is titled Dance Like There's No Tomorrow. But Abdul says an emergency plane landing that caused her injury in 1992 - she calls it a "plane crash" - was a key reason why she abandoned her multiplatinum singing career (she hasn't released a new album since 1995).
"I had four plates and 14 cervical spinal surgeries," Abdul said while she picked up items Saturday at a celebrity gift suite at Super Bowl XLII. "It all happened during the time that I disappeared and no one knew where I went. For five and a half years, I went through paralysis, the worst experience, and then I came back on American Idol, that was my first time back out there." Abdul decided to return to music when Jackson asked her to be one of the artists on Randy Jackson's Musical Club, Vol. 1.
