Justin Timberlake had to postpone the show at the last minute due to an injury

Justin Timberlake postponed his Newark, New Jersey show minutes before doors opened – and fans are upset.

The 43-year-old singer announced that he would not be taking the stage at the Prudential Center on Tuesday, October 8, just an hour before the show began. Timberlake’s concert was scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. ET and he posted the news on Instagram a few minutes before 6:00 p.m. ET.

“I’m so sorry to have to postpone today’s show. I have an injury that prevents me from performing at my best. I’m so disappointed not to see you all – but I’m working on rescheduling as soon as possible. I promise to make it up to you and give you the show you all deserve. Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your support,” Timberlake’s statement read.

Hours earlier, the “No Angels” singer shared a clip of himself jumping around with his pal, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.

Concertgoers immediately flooded Timberlake’s announcement with angry comments, with several expressing disappointment that he had waited until the eleventh hour.

“RU KIDDING. 30 minutes before entry!?” replied one angry fan. “Cry me a river,” another shared.

“Bro I sold my dog ​​for tonight WTF 🤬,” a third wrote, while someone else commented, “but I’m already dressed…”

Another angry fan blamed Kimmel.

“This happened the night after I hung out with Jimmy… I’m sure it has something to do with Jimmy,” they replied, shouting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” We’re a “bad influence” on Timberlake.

The Grammy winner promised to catch up on the missed show, but did not give a date. Timberlake did not reveal any details about his injury or how he sustained it. It is also unclear whether he will perform at his next scheduled concert in Philadelphia on Friday, October 11th.

The Post has contacted Timberlake’s representative.

The canceled show came just hours after the singer went viral for clumsily trying to get an unsuspecting fan’s attention as he stood in front of her during his Forget Tomorrow world tour concert in Montreal.

In the clip, Timberlake leaned towards the viewer who was playing on her phone, not realizing he was just inches away from her. Finally realizing her mistake, the “SexyBack” crooner walked away and tried to grab his leg.

Following the Montreal show, Timberlake performed at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on October 7 and helped a couple get engaged, according to People.

His concert postponement also comes after he reached a plea deal in his drunken driving case following his DWI arrest in June. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving under the influence rather than driving under the influence, which is a felony.

After being stopped by police, Timberlake told the officer that his arrest would “ruin the tour.” When the official asked, “What tour?” The musician replied, “The world tour.”

Timberlake was slapped on the wrist and sentenced to 25 hours of community service.

His Forget Tomorrow world tour is scheduled to continue in North America until February 3, 2025, before heading to Latin America and then beginning the European leg of the tour, which will run until July 20.
