Justin Timberlake’s North American Forget Tomorrow tour hit a snag this week as the pop icon postponed his Newark, New Jersey concert due to an unexpected injury. The "Cry Me A River" singer was set to take the stage at the Prudential Center on October 8, but just an hour before showtime, Timberlake announced that he wouldn’t be able to perform.
In a heartfelt message posted on social media, Timberlake shared the disappointing news: "I’m so sorry to postpone tonight’s show. I have an injury that is preventing me from performing." The star didn’t elaborate on the nature of the injury but reassured fans that he’s working on rescheduling the show as soon as possible.
"I promise to make it up to you and give you the show you all deserve," Timberlake continued, thanking his fans for their understanding and support.
Despite the setback, Timberlake’s Forget Tomorrow tour is expected to continue with a scheduled performance in Philadelphia on October 11. The tour will also hit major cities like Washington D.C., Toronto, Detroit, and Chicago before Timberlake takes the stage at the Isle of Wight Festival in the UK next summer, alongside Sting and Stereophonics.
In other recent news, Timberlake made headlines after pleading guilty to driving while impaired. The singer urged fans to avoid driving under the influence, sharing, "This is a mistake I made, but I hope others can learn from it." He was fined and sentenced to community service following the incident.
Timberlake released his latest album, Everything I Thought It Was, in March of this year, and his tour is a celebration of his evolving sound and career.
