Justin Timberlake has canceled another tour stop.
In a message shared to his Instagram Stories on Saturday, Nov. 30, the “No Angels” singer, 43, told fans that he’s canceling the Forget Tomorrow World Tour show in Oklahoma City on Dec. 2 due to an ongoing back injury he recently sustained in New Orleans.
“I’m so sorry Oklahoma City,” he wrote. “I have to cancel the show on 12/2. I hurt my back in Nola and my doctors have instructed me to rest a little bit longer. Thank you for your support — y’all know I hate doing this.”

Timberlake most recently performed in New Orleans on Monday, Nov. 25, which is apparently when the injury took place.
This is the third time in recent weeks that the “Selfish” singer has rearranged his tour schedule due to health reasons.
“I haven’t been feeling great the last few shows and turns out I have bronchitis and laryngitis,” he wrote in an Oct. 22 Instagram post. “I’m so sorry to say I do need to reschedule the next few shows from 10/23 through 11/2 […] Thank you for understanding – I’ll make it up to you ❤️🩹.”

The former *NSYNC member also previously canceled and rescheduled his Oct. 8 show in New Jersey due to an undisclosed injury.
“I’m so sorry to postpone tonight’s show. 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 ya’ll deserve,” he wrote on Instagram, adding a broken heart emoji. “Thank you guys for understanding. Appreciate your support always.”
The Forget Tomorrow World Tour was first announced in January and marked Timberlake’s return to touring after a five-year hiatus. The two-hour show features a 29-song setlist and highlights the star’s sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was. It also includes fan-favorites such as “My Love,” “Cry Me a River,” “Suit & Tie” and “Rock Your Body.”
The Forget Tomorrow World Tour has nine more U.S. stops in 2024 and continues throughout 2025 in the U.S. and internationally until July.
