Justin Timberlake has been forced to reschedule several US shows on his current world tour after falling ill.
The singer and actor is working his way through the North American leg of his Forget Tomorrow world tour, his first tour in five years and organised to support the release of his latest studio album, Everything I Thought It Was.
But six dates on the calendar, originally scheduled for October and November, have been reshuffled after Timberlake, 43, fell ill with a chest cold and a painful inflammation of the voice box.
Addressing Instagram followers on Wednesday, he wrote: Hey guys – I haven’t been feeling great the last few shows and turns out I have bronchitis and laryngitis.
‘I’m so sorry to say I do need to reschedule the next few shows from 10/23 through 11/2. New dates listed above. Thank you for understanding – I’ll make it up to you.’

The six shows in the US states of Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio, will now take place in February 2025.
It’s not the first time Timberlake has been forced to postpone shows on his current tour, having recently cancelled a show in Newark, New Jersey because of injury – four months after his arrest for driving under the influence.
Timberlake was pulled over that night after leaving the American Hotel in Sag Harbor – where he had been joined by the stylist and interior designer Stanley and her producer husband, Byran Furst, according to Page Six.
She had previously styled Biel as well as other stars like Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz, and Demi Moore.
Stanley also hosted Biel and Timberlake’s engagement party at her Los Angeles home in 2012.
Timberlake will not face drunk driving charges after sealing a plea deal in his DWI case. He pleaded guilty instead to a reduced violation charge of driving with ability impaired.
The plea leaves him free of a criminal record, which he would’ve had if convicted of the original misdemeanor charge.
As part of the plea deal, he agreed to pay the maximum fine of $500 and a surcharge of $260.
An important component to the deal, sources told DailyMail.com, was Timberlake’s willingness to do a public service video for the organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

In early October, the singer informed his fans that his New Jersey concert had been postponed.
He assured ticket-holders he would ‘reschedule’ the tour date ‘ASAP,’ but did not disclose the nature of the ‘injury that is preventing me from performing.’
‘I promise to make it all up to you and give you the show y’all deserve,’ he wrote. ‘Thank you guys for understanding. Appreciate your support always.’
Timberlake’s DUI arrest occurred shortly after midnight on June 18, when he was pulled over after leaving the American Hotel in Sag Harbor in the Hamptons.
In his Instagram announcement, he wrote: ‘I’m so sorry to postpone tonight’s show. I have an injury that is preventing me from performing.’
He told fans: ‘I’m so disappointed to not see you all – but I’m working to reschedule ASAP. I promise to make it up to you and give you the show y’all deserve. Thank you guys for understanding. Appreciate your support always.’
Timberlake’s mammoth world tour spans 115 shows across 15-months and began at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on April 29.
It is expected to end at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris on July 20 2025 after touring the United States, Canada, South and Central America, the United Kingdom, Ireland and mainland Europe.
