Justin Timberlake has hit a roadblock on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour due to a bout of bronchitis and laryngitis, leading him to postpone six upcoming shows. The former ‘NSYNC frontman shared the news on Instagram, explaining that his illness has forced him to push several Midwest performances—originally scheduled for October 23 through November 2—into February 2025.
“I’m so sorry to say I do need to reschedule the next few shows… Thank you for understanding — I’ll make it up to you,” Timberlake wrote.
The affected concerts include stops in Columbus, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, and St. Paul. Timberlake is now expected to resume his tour on November 8 in Sunrise, Florida. This delay follows a previous last-minute cancellation in Newark, New Jersey, earlier this month due to an undisclosed injury, which was later rescheduled.
Timberlake has been promoting his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was, which dropped in March. His tour kicked off in April and was running smoothly despite other recent setbacks, including his June DWI arrest in the Hamptons, for which he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of impaired driving. Timberlake has since completed community service and will make a public safety announcement on impaired driving.
While his Midwest fans will have to wait a bit longer, Timberlake has added several new dates to his 2025 tour, including additional California stops in January. Following the rescheduled U.S. shows, the tour will head overseas to South America, Europe, and the U.K., culminating in a headlining appearance at Lollapalooza Paris in July.
