Justin Timberlake ‘heartbroken' flu forced him to cancel show after soundcheck
Justin Timberlake says he is 'heartbroken' he had to cancel a stop on his US tour due to illness
The American singer, 44, announced he could not perform at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, during his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour shortly before the show was due to start on Thursday.
On his Instagram, he said: 'You guys, I'm heartbroken, I have to cancel the show tonight.
'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.'
The Cry Me A River singer had to reschedule concerts in 2024 due to bronchitis and laryngitis.
He is expected to travel to South America for the Lollapalooza festivals in Chile, Argentina and Brazil, along with other festival appearances, before taking his tour to Europe with UK dates in Belfast, Newport and Essex throughout June and July.
Last year, Timberlake pleaded guilty to impaired driving, resolving a criminal case stemming from his June arrest in New York state on a drink-driving charge.

Meet Helena Ford: The Air Hostess Who Ditched Her Job for Love
Some of us go for looks, some of us go for personality. Leaving her job behind, meet Helena Ford, one of the Love Island Season 12 girlies who's big on personality and has hopes that at almost 30, she can find her funny prince once and for all. The joint-oldest in the Love Island villa out of the OG girlies this season is Helena Ford. At 29, Helena's sights are on a someone funny and hopefully Northern as she claims they have much more banter is better than Southerners… erm not sure about that. In the first episode of Season 12, Helena made it very clear she's a personality kind of gal, saying she likes them medium-ugly. Humour is top of her checklist, 'You can pretty much laugh me into bed. I like a four out of 10 that's funny', she admits. She's racking up those Avios points as a British Airways air-hostess. She confirmed she has left her cabin crew job but they've kindly said she can come back to her role after the Love Island stint, if needed. Her team don't actually know what should she signed up to… but we're sure they are aware now and probably recruiting to fill her position. She has 12.4k Instagram followers, where she shows less work and more play, island hopping across the likes of South Africa, Ibiza, The Maldives, Turks and Caicos, Bermuda, Dubai and Miami, to name a few! She has a connection to Zara McDermott from Season 4 of Love Island. Helena's friend is besties with Zara but unfortunately the pair didn't get chance to speak before Helena flew to Spain for this season because Zara was wrapped up in filming her new documentary. She is also loosely connected to Justin Bieber! The pop star followed Helena's old twitter account back when she was 13. Claim to fame hunny, we'll take it. As Episode 1 closed, Helena is coupled up with last minute entry to the villa, pro rugby player Conor Phillips but has eyes for semi pro footballer, Harry Cooksley. Most nervous about sharing a room with so many people, we're looking forward to seeing Helena's journey and have no doubt that she'll be doing #ad content before we know it. Season 12 of the hit ITV dating show kicked off on 9 June and is on at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX every day of the week except Saturdays.

South West Sydney has scored a banging new spot serving ‘bloody good sandwiches'
Some people may say Sydney doesn't need another sandwich shop. We are not those people. So, say hello to San San – a funky new sandwich joint in Revesby, in Sydney's south west. Created by a sibling trio who says they 'couldn't find sandwiches in Sydney that hit the spot for us... so we made them ourselves', San San serves up loaded sandwiches featuring fluffy, freshly made focaccia, house-made sauces and quality ingredients. The succinct menu is made up of ten options, spanning deli meats, chicken schnitzel and vegan and vegetarian numbers. If it's your first time, a solid choice is the mortadella, which comes with fig jam, ricotta, hot honey, fresh rocket and potato crisps for crunch. We also like the sound of the OG schnitty, featuring golden chicken schnitzel paired with special San San sauce, butter lettuce, American cheese and pickled red onion. Or, for a flavour-packed veggie option, go for the eggplant with house-made baba ganoush (using a family recipe), marinated eggplant, roasted capsicum and a balsamic glaze. There's also a breakfast roll, chicken salad, focaccia pizza by the slice and chewy, gooey cookies. Plus, enjoy house-made lemonade and coffee using Ona beans. San San is open seven days a week – and you can dine in or take away.

Scott Wolf's wife of 21 years announces shock SPLIT with cryptic message to fans
After 21 years of marriage, Scott Wolf and his wife Kelley are headed for divorce. The longtime couple wed back in 2004 and are parents to three children. Kelley, 48, confirmed the divorce from the Party Of Five star, 57, in a cryptic Instagram post on Tuesday. 'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage,' she began in a message to fans. 'This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children.' Kelley did not reveal the reason for the split but later spoke about 'healing' and finding 'freedom' in this next chapter of her life. She also referred to Scott as 'one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with' before asking fans to respect their family's privacy. Kelley, 48, confirmed the divorce from the Party Of Five star, 57, in a cryptic Instagram post on Tuesday Kelley's post continued: 'While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion. 'Scott Wolf is one of the best fathers I've ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with. He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit. 'We both look forward to an extraordinary life centered around the most extraordinary children. 'My priority has always been their wellbeing—and my own healing. That will never change. 'I am stepping into a chapter of peace, freedom, and protection—with grace,' Kelley wrote. 'Thank you to the many friends, family, and professionals who have held space for me with love. 'Please respect our privacy during this time. May we all remember: healing isn't loud. It's sacred,' she concluded. Along with her heartfelt words, Kelley included an AI generated image of a lioness with three eagles flying overhead. Scott has yet to publicly address his and Kelley's shock split. Fans immediately flocked to the comments on Kelley's post, with one admitting that they 'sensed [the divorce] was coming.' 'Always sad to hear when a beautiful couple doesn't make it. Peace filled hearts to you both,' another penned. Many marveled at maturity with which Kelley handled the divorce announcement. 'This has to be the most heartwarming conscious uncoupling I've ever read. The depth of thought, compassion, kindness, and maturity should be an example and inspiration to all others parting ways,' one comment read. Just one week prior to Tuesday's divorce announcement, Scott and Kelley celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary. The couple did not publicly honor the milestone on their respective social media pages. The year prior, Kelley made a concerning revelation while paying tribute to Scott on their 20th wedding anniversary. The reality TV star revealed that she 'almost walked out' the relationship early in their engagement when she noticed Scott starting to 'poke at me, challenge me.' 'The first few times, I wrote it off as stress or the beginnings of getting to know somebody's idiosyncrasies,' Kelley wrote. 'But then, I had this feeling come back to me that I had in the past. It was a feeling that I didn't like, and a feeling, I had worked very hard to process, heal, and make sure I noticed when/if it ever came again. 'It was the feeling of self betrayal. It was the feeling of bending myself in order to accommodate another person even when I knew that I had done nothing wrong.' She said that she previously experienced 'this feeling' in a past 'toxic relationship.' 'My old pattern had returned. I was scrambling to make myself more accommodating, less aggravating, whatever it was that seem to be pushing him away. And then I woke up one morning and said 'wait a minute' I've done this game before and I'm not doing this again,' she wrote. Kelley recalled taking off her engagement ring and handing it to Scott before telling him that she 'will not stick around while somebody tries to excavate fault in me.' 'I turned around and walked towards the door. And like I had done before in my life, I was ready to walk out the door with the girl that I promised to save.' When left with the possibility of losing her forever, Kelley said that Scott stepped up and fought for their relationship. 'But, this love story wasn't over. Scott looked at me, and some thing happened… 'He said, "You are really going to leave. I believe you. I can see it. I can feel it. And there is no chance in hell I am going to let that happen, so let's do this,"' Kelley recalled. '"Let's do this hard part, the uncomfortable part. The part where I have to look in the mirror and see my old pattern where I have tried to find fault in somebody in the hopes that I would prove that nobody can really do the hard stuff and stick around."' 'We all know that our patterns come from the things that have happened to us in life. Scott had never been shown what it looked like when LOVE really showed up.' Kelley said that after that moment she and Scott were 'more bonded, more connected, and more clear about the promise we were about to make to each other.' She said their wedding day was full of 'magic' and 'hope' and that her almost walking out the door 'set the stage for so many things' in their 20-year romance. 'Marriage, friendships, relationships of all kinds are a dance. Never to be a straight line. Never without plot, twists, and highs and lows,' she wrote. 'There is one thing we both learned that day, you have to be willing to love yourself the most to truly love somebody else, the most. And yes, like all amazing love stories, we continue to choose the power of love, over and over,' Kelley concluded.
