Justin Timberlake has officially postponed several concerts on his North American tour after being diagnosed with bronchitis and laryngitis. The news comes as the “Cry Me A River” singer has been performing across the U.S. since early October. In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Timberlake expressed his regrets and updated fans on the situation.
Health Concerns Force Rescheduling
Timberlake stated, “I haven’t been feeling great the last few shows, and it turns out I have bronchitis and laryngitis. 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.” His commitment to delivering high-quality performances underscores his dedication to his fans, as he aims to recover fully before returning to the stage.

Recent Challenges and Future Plans
Earlier in October, Timberlake was compelled to cancel a concert in Newark, New Jersey, shortly before the performance due to an injury. Despite these setbacks, the singer remains optimistic about his upcoming appearances. In the summer of 2025, Timberlake is set to headline the Isle of Wight Festival alongside notable acts like Sting and Stereophonics. Additionally, he will perform in Belfast and Dublin, and make a bill-topping appearance at the Lytham Festival in Lancashire.
Reflection and Responsibility
Recently, Timberlake faced legal challenges, pleading guilty to driving while impaired. He received a sentence that included a $500 fine, a $260 surcharge, and 25 hours of community service. In light of his experience, Timberlake urged fans to reconsider their decisions regarding drinking and driving, stating, “Even if you’ve had one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car. There are so many alternatives. You can call a friend [or] take an Uber. This is a mistake that I made, but I’m hoping that whoever is watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake. I know that I certainly have.”
A New Chapter in Music
Timberlake’s most recent solo album, ‘Everything I Thought It Was’, was released in March and received a three-star review. Critics acknowledged his enduring vocal talent but noted that the album did not fully elevate his reputation following past controversies.
