Justin Timberlake is catching some flack from fans after posting a video of himself slow dancing with his wife Jessica Biel in honor of her 43rd birthday.
The Sexy/Back singer, 44, shared the video, which some fans pointed out was an older clip since Biel, 43, wears her hair shorter now.
But that didn’t stop the vitriol from fans who purchased tickets to the final stop on his Forget Tomorrow tour in Columbus, Ohio on February 27.
‘All of a sudden look who’s feeling better! Must’ve been a 24 hour bug. I love driving to a job to pay off the money wasted by a cancelled concert while Mr. Sick is writing love letters,’ one fan wrote.
Making it somewhat worse is the fact that he also canceled the October 23, 2024 show at the same venue when he had a bout of laryngitis and bronchitis.
Other fans commented about the fact that it was the second show he canceled in the city and the money lost they lost on tickets, gas and hotel rooms.

Justin wrote a sweet tribute to his wife of 13 years.
‘Happy Birthday to my rock. My best friend. My favorite. My GOAT. To the one that believes in me when I don’t believe in myself…
‘The one that makes me laugh like nobody else can. To the one that showed me a real love. ❤️
‘I adore you, my heart. Here’s to many, many more!!! Happy Jess Day!!!!’
While many comments were positive and wished Biel a happy birthday, a solid group were still salty over his cancelation.
One fan wrote: ‘You recovered quickly from the flu? It appears you didn’t have to cancel?’
Another fan replied to that: ‘One post doesn’t indicate if he is sick or not. He could be laying in bed posting. I have seen many people post that they are sick with the flu.’
And the original poster commented: ‘too bad your show was not cancelled twice.’

Another disappointed fan wrote: ‘I actually drove to Columbus from Chicago on Wednesday for the concert and was already in the building at a prime spot at the B stage when Hypes came out to announce it. I paid for a hotel and gas to be there for it. I am devastated but also understand that this decision wasn’t made lightly. ‘
On February 27, Timberlake posted a message on Instagram less than 15 minutes before his show was scheduled to start in Columbus.
‘You guys, I’m heartbroken, I have to cancel the show tonight,’ the 10-time Grammy winner wrote, four months after he canceled his October 23 concert at the same venue amid a bout with laryngitis and bronchitis.
The Cry Me a River singer added, ‘I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it’s gotten the best of me. It kills me to disappoint you and my team who worked so hard to make this show happen.
‘I want to reassure you, you’ll be getting refunds for your tickets. I love you all.’
A number of fans were critical of the musical artist for waiting so late to call off the show, with one saying, ‘Canceling [because] of being sick is 100% understandable.. Canceling 10 minutes before the doors were to open is unacceptable.’
Another added: ‘The show was canceled at 7:30 and the show was supposed to start at 8:00, I’m sorry if you have the flu you would’ve know before 1/2hour before the show starts. There were little kids standing in line that was devastated that you canceled. Shame on you.’
Another fan asked, ‘Could you have told fans sooner than 12 minutes before the show starts?’

Meanwhile, fans took out their ire on his wife when Jessica gushed about her husband’s tour.
‘There’s truly nothing this man can’t do,’ the actress gushed in a post to Instagram, alongside a video montage showing clips from the tour set to his song, Pusher Love Girl.
‘It’s been so special to watch you, listen to you, and be alongside you for this tour,’ she continued. ‘One last show tonight, give it all you’ve got. I am the proudest.’
The post came just hours before Timberlake announced he was canceling his final show in Columbus, Ohio, leaving ticket holders fuming.
Irate fans took to Biel’s Instagram to vent about the canceled show.
‘Apparently can’t perform in Columbus because he has now cancelled twice… Taylor Swift toured for three years and only cancelled once for a terrorist plot…’ one user snarked.
‘He canceled his last show. This post didn’t age well. Poor guy has the flu real bad,’ wrote another.
