Justin Timberlake Faces Backlash After Last-Minute Concert Cancellation
Justin Timberlake has left fans frustrated after canceling the final U.S. show of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in Columbus, Ohio—just minutes before showtime.
The Grammy-winning artist cited the flu as the reason for the abrupt cancellation, sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram just as fans were gearing up for the night.
While Timberlake expressed his disappointment, promising refunds for ticket holders, many fans were outraged by the last-minute notice. Reports suggest that Nationwide Arena had already opened its doors when the announcement was made, leaving concertgoers blindsided.
Adding to the frustration, some fans recalled Timberlake’s previous last-minute cancellation in Newark, NJ, last October due to an undisclosed injury. For those who traveled, booked hotels, and rearranged schedules to see the pop star, the short notice felt like déjà vu.
Despite the backlash, Timberlake is set to resume his tour in South America, kicking off with Lollapalooza Argentina on March 21.
While he recovers, fans are left wondering—could this have been handled differently?
