Justin Timberlake reveals Lyme disease diagnosis
Superstar Justin Timberlake linked his hidden health battle to his recently finished two year “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” in a heartfelt Instagram post. He disclosed being diagnosed with Lyme disease. Timberlake was clarifying his behind the scenes struggles and showing more transparency.
Timberlake wrote that after receiving the diagnosis he made a pivotal choice: “Stop touring? Or keep going and figure it out. I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I’m so glad I kept going”. He described symptoms including intense nerve pain, crushing, fatigue and general illness which sometimes left him unable to give his usual high energy performances.
Fans from Columbus have mentioned this may be the reason for Timberlake’s cancellation for his stop here in Columbus at Nationwide Arena minutes before showtime earlier this year in February.
This also comes just after his tour concluded on July 30th and amid viral fan videos and backlash questioning his energy on stage. Timberlake’s revelation reframes how fans and critics view the final leg of his performances.
We’re all rooting for you JT!
