Justin Timberlake Reschedules 6 Tour Dates Due to Bronchitis and Laryngitis Diagnosis
Justin Timberlake has rescheduled six shows on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour as he deals with bronchitis and laryngitis, the singer announced on Tuesday, October 22.
The affected shows span from October 23 to November 2, when he was scheduled to swing through the Midwest. His shows in Columbus, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Grand Rapids will all take place between February 14 and 27, 2025.
“Hey guys – I haven’t been feeling great the last few shows and turns out I have bronchitis and laryngitis,” he wrote via Instagram. “I’m so sorry to say I do need to reschedule the next few shows from 10/23 through 11/2. New dates listed above. Thank you for understanding – I’ll make it up to you ❤️🩹 – JT.”
This is the second time in just over two weeks that Timberlake, 43, has had to postpone a performance. The singer postponed his October 8 concert at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, just hours before the show was scheduled to begin.
“I have an injury that is preventing me from performing,” he said in a statement. “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 for understanding. Appreciate your support always.”
Timberlake made up for it one week later, performing at The Rock on October 15.
The “SexyBack” singer did not specify the nature of the injury. It came one month after Timberlake pleaded guilty for driving while intoxicated after his June arrest in the Hamptons.
“Many of you have been covering me for a lot of my life and, as you may know, I try to hold myself to a very high standard for myself,” Timberlake said in a September 13 press conference. “This was not that. I found myself in a position where I could have made a different decision, but I’ve had some time to reflect on that.”
Timberlake agreed to a plea deal that included a $500 fine, 25 to 40 hours of community service and a public safety announcement.
“What I’d like to say to everyone watching and listening: Even if you have one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car,” he added. “There’s so many alternatives, call a friend, take an Uber, there’s many travel apps [or] take a taxi. This is a mistake that I made, but I’m hoping that whoever is watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake.”
