He needs to bring his healthy back.
Justin Timberlake has been forced to postpone six more dates on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. The pop superstar revealed that he has been sick and needs to reschedule the shows while he recovers.
“Hey guys — I haven’t been feeling great the last few shows and turns out I have bronchitis and laryngitis,” Timberlake, 43, wrote in a post on Instagram. “I’m so sorry to say I do need to reschedule the next few shows from 10/23 through 11/2.”
The announcement came the day before Timberlake was to perform at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio on Wednesday. That date has now been rescheduled for Feb. 27.
Other postponed tour stops include Chicago (now Feb. 14), Grand Rapids, Michigan (Feb. 18), Detroit (Feb. 20), Milwaukee (Feb. 22) and St. Paul, Minnesota (Feb. 24).
Timberlake concluded, “Thank you for understanding. I’ll make it up to you.”
This isn’t the first time that the “Cry Me a River” singer has had to postpone shows this month. In fact, he caught flak for canceling his Oct. 8 concert at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, just an hour before it was due to start.
“I’m so sorry to postpone tonight’s show,” Timberlake wrote in a statement at the time. “I have an injury that is preventing me from performing. I’m so disappointed to not see you all – but I’m working to reschedule ASAP. I promise to make it up to you and give you the show y’all deserve. Thank you guys for understanding. Appreciate your support always.”
While the Newark, NJ, show was quickly rescheduled for Oct. 15, his June 8 date at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina was canceled completely.
Timberlake has had his share of challenges on the Forget Tomorrow World Tour. There was also that viral moment at his Oct. 4 Montreal concert, when the singer awkwardly tried to get a clueless fan’s attention.
In the cringe clip, Timberlake bent over to the oblivious audience member, who was on her cellphone, paying him no mind. When she finally realized that he was inches away from her, the former *NSYNC crooner walked away and she tried to grab his leg.
Of course, Timberlake has also had his share of troubles off the stage in 2024. In September, he took a plea deal in his drunk driving case following his DWI arrest in June. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while alcohol impaired instead of driving while intoxicated, which is a felony, and was ordered to 25 hours of community service.
After being pulled over by police, Timberlake told the cop that his arrest would “ruin the tour.” When the officer asked, “What tour?” the singer responded, “The world tour.”
