Derulo, who had a performance in Australia last year, then swiftly concluded his restroom break backstage while footage of the audience anticipating his return was displayed on screen.

After finishing in the bathroom, he handed the bottle to an assistant, who placed it alongside several other Gatorade beverages.

"Alright, back to the show!" Derulo exclaimed as he made his way back to the stage, greeted by cheers from his fans.
