Justin Timberlake is making headlines not just for his music, but for his attentiveness to fans’ well-being during his performances. On Saturday, June 1, while performing his 2002 hit “Cry Me a River” at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, Timberlake noticed a fan in need of assistance and paused his Forget Tomorrow World Tour concert to address the situation.
In a video shared on TikTok, Timberlake, 43, can be seen stopping mid-performance to get the attention of the security team. He pointed towards a fan who appeared to require help. “House lights up, thank you! Sorry everybody one second… we need some assistance right here about five rows back,” Timberlake instructed, showing concern for the fan’s well-being.
After ensuring that the fan was okay and receiving a nod of gratitude, Timberlake reassured the crowd, “Are we OK? No, no problem!” He smiled and clapped, adding, “OK, we’re OK,” before resuming the show. According to TMZ, paramedics were not called, and the fan later returned to their seat, indicating that the situation had been resolved smoothly.
This incident occurred shortly after Timberlake ended a five-year hiatus, kicking off his latest world tour on April 29, 2024, at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada. The two-hour set featured a mix of his greatest hits and new tracks from his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was, released on March 15.
Fans were treated to live performances of classics like “My Love,” “Suit & Tie,” “Rock Your Body,” and “SexyBack,” along with new favorites such as “Technicolor,” “Infinity Sex,” “Imagination,” “Drown,” “My Favorite Drug,” “F—in’ Up the Disco,” “Play,” and “Flame.”
Timberlake announced the tour during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in January. His next stop is Fort Worth, Texas, on June 4, followed by performances in cities including Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, New York City, and Boston. The tour is set to conclude on December 20, 2024, at Kansas City’s T-Mobile Center.
