Justin Timberlake fans fear for ‘tired' star after series of ‘lazy' performances on world tour
JUSTIN Timberlake fans have been left fearing for the 'tired' star after a series of "lazy" performances. Singer Justin, 44, who is due to wrap up The Forget Tomorrow World Tour on 30 July, has come under fire in recent months for what some attendees have labelled 'embarrassing' and lacklustre shows. 4 Justin Timberlake fans have been left fearing for the 'tired' star after a series of "lazy" performances on his world tour Credit: Getty Several fans have even demanded their money back. Justin has been accused of 'hardly singing' and relying too heavily on the crowd, with many branding his performances 'lazy'. After one particular show in Tbilisi, Georgia, on July 23, a wave of support also emerged on social media , with fans urging the pop icon to rest. 'I can't believe it's almost over! Going to miss you so much, but I know you are TIRED!!! So rest up good and we can do it all over again!' one person wrote. Another added: 'I saw you in Atlanta in November and you were amazing. Best concert I've been to. I think you just need a break and to recharge. You've been doing this tour for a year.' But not everyone was so forgiving. Disgruntled ticket-holders continued to vent frustration online, asking: 'Why he treating performing like a side job?!' and 'How many words did you sing?' A third asked: 'Did he sing finally?' while a fourth fumed: 'When are the audience getting paid for their performance?' Most read in Entertainment One more raged: 'Imagine paying $600 to watch the crowd at a Justin Timberlake concert sing his songs.' One viral post, which racked up hundreds of thousands of likes read: 'Justin Timberlake really thought he could do the bare minimum & get away with it? Nicky Byrne shares video from Justin Timberlake "Nah. People didn't drop $500 to watch a lifeless karaoke act. No energy , no vocals, just vibes gone wrong. "The crowd walking out says it all. It's mediocre performance. It's time to stop!' It's not the first time in the tour that Justin's left his fans upset. Back in February, he caused a furore after canceling one of his gigs just moments before being due to perform. 4 He is due to wrap up The Forget Tomorrow World Tour on 30 July Credit: Getty 4 He has come under fire in recent months for 'embarrassing' and lacklustre shows Credit: Getty 4 Justin has been accused of 'hardly singing' and relying too heavily on the crowd Credit: Instagram Wrapping up his tour at Columbus, Ohio's Nationwide Arena, Justin failed to show up and canceled at the very last minute - leaving concert goers feeling sad and angry. "You guys, I'm heartbroken, I have to cancel the show tonight," Justin penned in a statement that shared the reason why he wouldn't be taking to the stage. The SexyBack hitmaker then said: "I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it's gotten the best of me. "It kills me to disappoint you and my team who worked so hard to make this show happen. "I want to reassure you, you'll be getting refunds for your tickets . I love you all." And, last October, Justin canceled a show in Newark, New Jersey , just hours before the gig. Later in the month, the pop star pulled the plug on a further SIX shows when he was struck down with laryngitis and bronchitis. One person due to attend the N*Sync star's Ohio concert this week has shared a video on X of fans in their droves departing the venue. "Everyone leaving Nationwide Arena because Justin Timberlake cancelled the LAST tour date after already rescheduling from October. 10 minutes before the opener and after doors opened," the person wrote. Someone replied to the video with their own first hand experience, saying: "Bought almost 40 bucks in drinks tonight, was sitting in our seats, we thought the announcement was a joke. "Paid 20 dollars in parking and now 2 vacation days wasted on this." 'UNACCEPTABLE' Elsewhere online, another person addressed the cancelation in a seething message: "Canceling [because] of being sick is 100% understandable.. Canceling 10 minutes before the doors were to open is unacceptable." A second person echoed: "The show was canceled at 7:30 and the show was supposed to start at 8:00, I'm sorry if you have the flu you would've know before 1/2hour before the show starts. "There were little kids standing in line that was devastated that you canceled. "Shame on you."
