Justin Timberlake Cancels Another Concert Due to Back Injury

entertainment

Justin Timberlake had to cancel another show on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour because of a back injury. This is the third concert he has canceled in recent months. Timberlake shared the news on Instagram on Saturday, saying that his doctors told him to rest. The canceled concert was set for December 2 in Oklahoma City.

This follows a previous show delay in October due to an injury and another delay caused by illness. Timberlake apologized to his fans and promised to make it up to them. He said he hates canceling shows but needs more time to recover.

Fans who bought tickets for the canceled concert will get a refund. Timberlake plans to return to the stage on December 4 in Houston, Texas. His Forget Tomorrow World Tour is supporting his new album, Everything I Thought It Was, and will continue until 2025. The tour will travel across the U.S., South America, Europe, and the U.K.

Earlier this year, Timberlake also faced a legal issue when he pleaded guilty to impaired driving and was fined $500, along with 25 hours of community service.
