Justin Timberlake battling ‘relentlessly debilitating' Lyme disease
Justin Timberlake told fans he's been struggling with an 'relentlessly debilitating' case of Lyme disease while on tour. The 44-year-old singer's admission follows heavy criticism from concertgoers over allegedly lackluster performances on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which concluded Wednesday in Turkey. Fan singalongs posted online show Timberlake letting his audiences handle vocal responsibilities while he seemingly rests during shows. Timberlake called his recent tour 'the most fun, emotional, gratifying, physically demanding, and, at times, grueling experience' he's had in more than 30 years in show business, which includes a seven-year stint with the hugely popular boy band NSYNC. The 'SexyBack' singer said he's usually a private person, but looking back at the whirlwind string of performances he just completed, a little context is in order. 'I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme Disease — which I don't say so you feel bad for me — but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes,' Timberlake posted. He didn't share details on how or when he was infected with the sickness. The Centers for Disease Control describe Lyme Disease as 'a bacterial infection spread to people through the bite of blacklegged ticks.' Symptoms can include headache and fatigue. If untreated, the infection can attack joints, the heart and the nervous system. 'Living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,' Timberlake explained. The Tennessee native said he was shocked when he learned of the infection, but the diagnosis helped him understand why he was experiencing fatigue and nerve pain on stage. Timberlake said he had to decide whether to continue performing or cut his tour short. He chose the former and said he's glad that he did. Solve the daily Crossword

Celsius recall: High Noon warns energy drinks were 'inadvertently filled' with vodka
'Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion,' the company said in a notice posted to the FDA's website. High Noon, the alcohol brand specializing in hard seltzer drinks made with vodka and fruit juice, announced a recall of some of its variety packs because they contain Celsius energy drinks that the company says were 'inadvertently filled' with alcohol. According to a notice posted on the Food & Drug Administration's website on Wednesday, High Noon is recalling two lots of 'High Noon Beach Variety' 12-packs with cans of vodka drinks that were mislabeled as 'Celsius Astro Vibe, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition.' 'Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion,' the company said, adding that 'no illnesses or adverse events have been reported.' It's unclear exactly how many cans were mislabeled. The recall was initiated after the company 'discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon.' The 12-packs with the erroneously labeled cans were shipped to retailers in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin from July 21 to July 23. The affected Celsius cans will have a silver lid instead of a black lid, the company said. Consumers are advised to dispose of them and 'not consume the liquid.' Customers are also encouraged to contact High Noon's consumer relations department for more information on the recall, including refunds. Solve the daily Crossword
