Justin Timberlake cancels show due to ill health
Over the weekend, Justin Timberlake had to cancel a performance due to an injury. The announcement came less than two months after he cancelled another show in October also due to an injury.
Justin Timberlake is recovering after his doctor told him to rest after suffering a back injury.
Justin was scheduled to perform at Oklahoma City’s Paycom Center on December 2. However, he took to his Instagram Story on Saturday to announce that he won't make it to the show.
“I’m so sorry Oklahoma CIty… I have to cancel the show on 12/2. I hurt my back in NOLA and my doctors have instructed me to rest a little bit longer," he announced.
The singer thanked his fans for their support.
"Thank you for your support – y’all know I hate doing this,” he wrote on November 30.
