Justin Timberlake postpones world tour stop an hour before showtime due to injury

Justin Timberlake abruptly postponed his Tuesday night tour stop in Newark, N.J., because of an injury that he said “is preventing [him] from performing.”

Posting an apology about an hour before the show was set to begin, the “Selfish” and “Cry Me a River” crooner said he was disappointed not to see his fans but was working to reschedule the show as soon as possible.

“I promise to make it up to you and give the show y’all deserve,” he wrote on Instagram . “Thank you guys for understanding. Appreciate your support always.”

Timberlake, 43, did not disclose details about the injury and representatives for the former ‘NSYNC frontman did not immediately respond Wednesday to The Times’ request for comment.

Disappointed fans took to the post’s comments section to share their frustration , lamenting the late notice and alleging that Ticketmaster had yet to share any communication about the postponement. One fan cheekily wrote “this is gonna ruin the tour,” a callback to Timberlake’s alleged remarks to law enforcement when he was arrested in June.
