On Saturday, the singer took the stage at Boston's TD Garden for his Forget Tomorrow World Tour and made a joke about driving following his DWI arrest on June 18.
In a clip shared across social media, the 43-year-old "Selfish" singer stands on stage as he addresses the crowd."So uhhh, is there anyone here tonight that is driving?" he says as the crowd cheers. "No, I'm just kidding."
Timberlake quickly pivots after making the quip, asking if there's anyone in the audience who is experiencing the show for the first time.

"He does his best to set a positive example for himself, [ Jessica Biel ], his family and the public, and will continue to try to learn and grow. He is taking this seriously and recognizes how it can impact his family dynamic as a husband and father, and his fans too."
A source told ET that Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel -- who share children Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4 -- are "doing just fine" following his arrest.
The source said that the couple "both know, and understand, that everyone makes mistakes and that mistakes don't define people. Jess knows that Justin is a great husband and dad, and a wonderful person with the best intentions."
The source added, "He is putting his energy into wowing his fans with incredible shows and trying to move on.

Their kids are also at the forefront of their minds as always and they're protecting their children from any negative media attention."
