Justin Timberlake's sassy five-word declaration after Lyme disease reveal
Justin Timberlake put on his sweats and declared via Instastory Monday that he was 'not doing s*** today' after 'accomplishing the mission' of finishing his $205.2M-grossing, 121-date The Forget Tomorrow World Tour. The 44-year-old pop star's wife Jessica Biel also Instastoried a snap of him and his crew posing next to a private plane on the tarmac, which she captioned: 'So happy they're home!' Justin officially concluded his seventh headlining tour last Wednesday in Turkey after receiving substantial backlash online about his viral low-effort performances wherein the audience appeared to sing more lyrics than he did onstage. 'I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease,' Timberlake - who boasts 186.1M social media followers - announced last Thursday. 'Living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically. When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.' The 10-time Grammy winner nearly quit the tour but 'decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling.' 'I was reluctant to talk about this because I was always raised to keep something like this to yourself. But I am trying to be more transparent about my struggles so that they aren't misinterpreted,' Justin added. Indeed, Timberlake had mysteriously canceled or postponed several shows due to the flu, bronchitis, laryngitis, an ankle injury, and an ongoing back injury over the past year. Most cases of the bacterial infection, spread through the bite of blacklegged ticks, can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics but, left untreated, can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system - according to the CDC. Fans skeptical of the No Angels singer's claim could read the comment from his father Randy Timberlake: 'I'm so proud of you son. You are the greatest example of "Never Give Up!" I pray that you will get [through] this very soon. Get some well deserved rest! Much love your way.' Justin's *NSYNC bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick shared a touching tribute to his 'little bro' who 'showed a whole new level of strength' battling 'Lyme disease day in and day out.' 'He never gave up. No complaints, no excuses — just heart, grit, and pure determination,' the 53-year-old boybander wrote. 'That kind of resilience is rare. I couldn't be more proud to call him my friend. Tour life is already a grind, but doing it while fighting Lyme disease? That's superhero status. Here's to strength, perseverance, and one hell of a tour. Love you little bro!' Other celebrities suffering from the tick-born illness include Yolanda Hadid, Bella Hadid, Anwar Hadid, Justin Bieber, Ben Stiller, Amy Schumer, Alec Baldwin, Shania Twain, Debbie Gibson, Avril Lavigne, Riley Keough, Ramona Singer, and Kelly Osbourne. Timberlake 'pushed through for months before finally getting answers' after being encouraged to get tested by his 43-year-old concerned wife. 'She felt like something was off,' a source told People on Sunday. 'She could tell that he wasn't himself. She's incredibly supportive.' Last Thursday, the married couple of 12 years celebrated the fifth birthday of their son Phineas, and they're also proud parents of 10-year-old son Silas. It's unclear if the 'home' Jessica was referring to meant they're relaxing at their 127-acre property in Lepiers Fork, TN or their house at the private members-only resort The Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, MT. In 2022, Justin listed the the 10-acre, seven-bedroom Hollywood Hills home he bought from Helen Mirren for $8.3M back in 2002 for $35M. Timberlake originally met Biel in 2007 while snowboarding with a group of friends in Park City, UT. Before the Emmy nominee - the former Mouseketeer reportedly romanced the likes of Fergie, Britney Spears, Jenna Dewan, Alyssa Milano, Emma Bunton, Tatyana Ali, Cameron Diaz, and Lindsay Lohan. The No Angel singer's *NSYNC bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick (L) shared a touching tribute to his 'little bro' who 'showed a whole new level of strength' battling 'Lyme disease day in and day out' Before Justin - Jessica was said to have previously dated her 7th Heaven co-star Adam LaVorgna, her Cellular/London co-star Chris Evans, and retired New York Yankee Derek Jeter. On September 13, Timberlake pled guilty to driving while impaired, paid $760 in fines, agreed to do 25 hours of community service at a non-profit of his choice, and had his New York license suspended for 90 days. The Selfish singer - who refused to take a breathlyzer test - successfully avoided a criminal DWI charge and infractions for running a stop sign and failure to keep in his lane stemming from his June 18, 2024 arrest in Sag Harbor, NY.

Justin Timberlake Addresses Tour Backlash With 'Debilitating' Health Revelation
Justin Timberlake wants his fans to know that he heard the social media backlash about his European leg of The Forget Tomorrow World Tour loudly and clearly. Still, there's something else he needs you to know. After wrapping up his final performance date on July 30 in Istanbul, Turkey, the 44-year-old singer revealed that he's been dealing with a 'debilitating' illness. The July 31 Instagram post began with a look back at his 'two incredible years' on the road as he decided to ' write something from the heart' to all of his followers. More from SheKnows Prince William's Appearance at Women's Soccer Final Feels Like a Response to 2023 Backlash While acknowledging that the tour has been 'the most fun, emotional, gratifying, physically demanding, and, at times, grueling experience,' he was also dealing with something serious offstage. 'As many of you know, I'm a pretty private person. But as I'm reflecting on the tour and festival tour – I want to tell you a little bit about what's going on with me,' Timberlake wrote in the caption. 'Among other things, 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.' 'If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,' he continued. 'When I first got the diagnosis, I was shocked for sure. But at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness. I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or keep going and figure it out.' Per the Cleveland Clinic, Lyme disease is 'an infection that happens when an infected tick bites a human. The condition can cause joint pain. Antibiotics treat Lyme disease. Even after treatment, some symptoms may linger.' For Timberlake, he 'decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling.' Even though he was 'reluctant' to talk about his diagnosis, the former NSYNC star admitted that he's 'trying to be more transparent about my struggles so that they aren't misinterpreted.' It's likely that the TikTok videos that captured Timberlake's weaker moments onstage were a direct result of his Lyme disease. European fans were critical when Timberlake seemingly continued to take a break while singing 'Can't Stop The Feeling' from the 2016 movie, Trolls. He let the audience do the performing while he half-heartedly did some dance moves. A Daily Mail insider claimed that the singer was 'in a rut' and 'needs to do something new' — but perhaps he needed to be honest with what he was going through. Medical privacy is important for everyone, but Timberlake's revelation might have been better addressed while the tour was going on — his fans would have certainly been empathetic to the situation. Instead, they felt slighted at some concert stops, and it caused a whole buzz on the internet which could have been avoided. Before you go, click for more documentaries about strong women in music.
