Justin Timberlake abruptly cancels New Jersey concert just hours before showtime

NEWARK, N.J. — Justin Timberlake abruptly canceled his concert Tuesday just a few hours before he was supposed to take the stage in Newark, New Jersey.

The singer posted a message on Instagram that said, “I’m so sorry to postpone tonight’s show. I have an injury that is preventing me from performing. I’m so disappointed to not see you all – but I’m working to reschedule ASAP.”

The message was posted just before 6 p.m. Eastern Time. His concert was scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the Prudential Center.

“I promise to make it up to you and give you the show y’all deserve,” the post continued. “Thank you guys for understanding. Appreciate your support always.”

Timberlake played Chicago in June and is set to return later this month when his “Forget the World” tour comes back to the United Center on Sunday, Oct. 27.

His world tour has had it’s fair share of issues. Earlier this month, Timberlake pled guilty to driving while impaired in New York’s Hamptons earlier this year.
