JUSTIN Timberlake fans have been left fearing for the 'tired' star after a series of "lazy" performances.

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."

Justin Timberlake sparks concern as fans demand refund for 'bare minimum' concerts

Cry Me A River star, Justin Timberlake, has sparked concern over his appearance at his latest gig, with some fans claiming the singer looked 'tired' and 'withdrawn' Justin Timberlake has worried fans with his appearance ahead of his final Forget Tomorrow World Tour show. The Cry Me A River star, 44, is due to wrap up his year-long tour on July 30, but some fans have expressed concern for the dad-of-two - while others have demanded a refund. ‌ Justin, who is married to Hollywood actress, Jessica Biel, has been accused of 'hardly singing' and putting on 'lazy' performances during the gigs following a string of 'embarrassing and bare minimum' shows. ‌ As he took to the stage in Georgia last week, his supporters urged the SexyBack star to 'take a break and recharge' following the damning backlash he has received. ‌ Sticking up for the singer, they wrote: "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!" Meanwhile, another said: "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." ‌ However, others weren't as understanding as they demanded their money back following the 'lacklustre' shows. One said: "Why is he treating performing like a side job?! How many words did you sing?'" Meanwhile, another quipped: "When are the audience getting paid for their performance? Imagine paying $600 to watch the crowd at a Justin Timberlake concert sing his songs." One insider told the Daily Mail that Justin is 'in a rut' after shooting to fame with the Disney Club as a child and then later boy band, N-Sync, and desperately 'needs to do something new.' ‌ After he played in Romania, a viral TikTok received thousands of likes after a fan who paid 'a lot of money' to see the Senorita star called him 'an absolute disappointment.' Justin was late getting onstage, and then reportedly only sang a few words of each song, according to ticket-holders. Expressing their disappointment, the TikTok user shared: "You can't be singing two songs and then taking a break," before calling Justin's behaviour "rude" and "disrespectful" before asking him to "rethink" the concept behind his tour. Many agreed with the claims and multiple fans demanded a refund. ‌ Justin's world tour has been marred with controversy since his DWAI arrest in the Hamptons, US, last year where he hit the headlines when he told the officer: "This is going to ruin the tour". The star was sentenced to community service last September after a judge rejected a 'disappointing' plea deal that would have let the singer off with a small fine and public statement about his Hamptons drunk-driving arrest. Justin pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while alcohol impaired instead of the more serious charge of driving while intoxicated and told the judge: "'I should've had better judgment. I understand the seriousness of this.'

Justin Timberlake sparks concern over 'tired' appearance ahead of final world tour show as fans urge 'he needs a break' following string of 'bare minimum, lip syncing' performances after demanding refunds

Justin Timberlake has sparked concern among fans over his 'tired' appearance at his antepenultimate concert in Georgia last week. Over the last few months, fans have demanded refunds following a string of 'embarrassing and bare minimum' shows. The singer, 44, who is due to finish his world tour in a matter of days on July 30, has also been accused of 'hardly singing' and putting on 'lazy' performances. As he took to the stage over the weekend, fans demanded the popstar 'needs a break to recharge' following the brutal backlash he has received. Sharing their support, fans wrote: '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!', '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', 'This day was truly unforgettable a priceless emotion and a childhood dream come true.❤️❤️' However, some fans continued to share their fury on social media after attending his shows over the last month. Some comments read: 'Why he treating performing like a side job?!', 'How many words did you sing?', 'Did he sing finally?', 'When are the audience getting paid for their performance?', 'Imagine paying $600 to watch the crowd at a Justin Timberlake concert sing his songs' 'Justin Timberlake really thought he could do the bare minimum & get away with it? 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!' MailOnline has contacted Justin's representatives for comment. Daily Mail exclusively revealed the drama behind his controversial concerts... and why his wife Jessica Biel is pleading with him to give up touring amid the brutal backlash. As he took to the stage over the weekend, fans demanded the popstar 'needs a break to recharge' following the brutal backlash he has received One insider told the Daily Mail that the SexyBack singer is 'in a rut' amid his flailing tour and desperately 'needs to do something new.' After he played Romania, a viral TikTok received 460,000 likes after a fan who paid 'a lot of money' to see him called him 'an absolute disappointment.' The Social Network star was late getting onstage, and then apparently only sang about five words of each song, according to concert-goers. He also wore glasses and a hat, so the audience couldn't see him, leading many to walk out in anger. 'You can't be singing two songs and then taking a break,' the content creator said, calling his behaviour 'rude' and 'disrespectful,' before asking him to 'rethink' the concept behind his tour. The 'lacklustre' performance was so embarrassing that multiple fans demanded a refund. In Dublin, his performance was much the same, as showcased by videos of Justin dropping the mic and simply walking around the stage lazily, without doing the dance moves he's known for. The same insider divulged that Justin 'wants to create new music and to do something he hasn't done yet' but feels stuck singing the same old songs he's been performing for decades, leaving him unmotivated. While there have been murmurs that he would reunite with his boy band NSYNC, it has yet to come to fruition. The reunion rumors reached a fever pitch as their former competitors the Backstreet Boys reunited at the Las Vegas Sphere as part of a historic residency. In fact, fans online begged Justin to rejoin his former boy band, joking that if he wanted to sing so little during his recent tour dates, he should at least have the others join him onstage. 'It's embarrassing how he's been basically doing karaoke,' the insider agreed. 'He knows that he's lost his mojo and he really wants it back.' A separate source weighed in on the state of his marriage, and how the tour has been leading to issues with his actress wife. The couple share two children, Silas, 10, and Phineas, four. 'Jessica thinks Justin has aged years since he started The Forget Tomorrow World Tour last April,' the insider claimed. Jessica, 43, has seen 'how it has taken its toll on him, not just physically but emotionally.' Justin's devoted wife has stood by him amid multiple high-profile controversies, including in 2019, when he was caught holding hands with actress Alisha Wainwright during a night out in New Orleans. Now, Jessica is worried that he's 'taken on way too much,' with the insider adding that 'he's no longer a twentysomething who can fly around the world doing concert after concert.'

Justin Timberlake's Tour Sparks Wave of Viral Jokes, Memes

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Justin Timberlake's tour began in April 2024, with the singer now on its final leg. Despite being in its closing stages, the tour has begun to circulate widely on social media, with users widely meme-ifying and making jokes about Timberlake's performances. Newsweek has reached out to a representative for Timberlake outside of regular working hours via email for comment. Why It Matters Timberlake's The Forget Tomorrow World Tour is his first in five years and his seventh headlining concert tour in total. Justin Timberlake performs onstage during the 5th Lollapalooza Paris Festival on July 20, 2025 in Paris, France. Justin Timberlake performs onstage during the 5th Lollapalooza Paris Festival on July 20, 2025 in Paris, France. Lyvans Boolaky/WireImage Timberlake was arrested in June 2024 for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Sag Harbor, New York. In September, he pleaded guilty to a noncriminal driving while impaired traffic violation and was fined and given community service. What To Know During recent appearances on the European leg of the tour, including stops in Romania and Ireland, the 10-time Grammy-winning singer is seen only singing parts of his songs in fan-captured footage. Some fans have also complained that he was arriving on stage late and amid the backlash there has been a wave of viral memes. Multiple clips of Timberlake performing the song from the Trolls soundtrack, Can't Stop The Feeling have gone viral. In one video, from a concert in Transylvania, Romania, Timberlake is shown performing with his hood up, partly singing the song and pointing his mic out to the crowd so that they could sing along. He then does the same thing for a number of other songs, failing to sing the whole songs himself. That video, which has the text overlay "Go girl give us nothing," has been viewed over 4 million times. Another video of him performing similarly at a concert in Dublin has been viewed over 18 million times. One TikTok, from the creator @90skid4lyfe, which has the text overlay "Imagine paying $500 for this type of energy at a Justin Timberlake concert in 2025," has been viewed over 20 million times. Another video, shared by the creator @snarkymarky, starts with the creator saying, "You can't do this to me, this is going to ruin the tour," with the text overlay "Justin Timberlake when he was getting arrested last year." The TikTok then cuts to a clip of @snarkymarky with the audio from the performance of Can't Stop The Feeling, and has the text overlay "The tour in question." This a reference to something that Timberlake allegedly muttered when he was arrested last year. An anonymous source told Page Six at the time that when Timberlake was arrested, he mumbled: "This is going to ruin the tour." The policeman replied "What tour?" to which Timberlake responded "The world tour." What People Are Saying @farrelhegarty posted a TikTok, viewed 7 million times, with the text overlay: "Justin Timberlake's concert interrupting his busy day." @sarcasticmommy4 wrote on X: "I wasn't even at Justin Timberlake's concert & I'd like a refund." @ladypositive, in a TikTok viewed over 750,000 times with the text overlay: "POV: Justin's concert is interrupting his breakfast." What's Next Timberlake's tour is scheduled to conclude on July 30 in Turkey.
