Justin Timberlake has issued an apology to his fans after canceling his concert in New Jersey on Tuesday night due to an undisclosed injury. In a message posted on social media, Timberlake expressed his disappointment at not being able to perform and assured fans that he is working to reschedule the show as soon as possible. He also promised to make it up to them and thanked them for their understanding and support.
Following the incident, Village Justice Carl Irace imposed a $500 fine on Timberlake, along with a $260 surcharge. Additionally, the singer was ordered to complete 25 hours of community service at a nonprofit organization of his choice and make a public safety announcement.
Reflecting on the situation, Timberlake admitted that he could have made a different decision but now wants to use his platform to share an important message with his audience. During a press conference, he urged people not to drink and drive, emphasizing the availability of alternatives such as calling a friend or using ride-sharing apps like Uber.
Edward Burke Jr., Timberlake’s attorney, clarified that his client was not driving under the influence at the time of the incident. According to Burke, evidence showed that Timberlake had consumed one drink over two hours at The American Hotel. He also stated that contrary to reports suggesting otherwise, Timberlake had not consumed other people’s drinks or been warned about driving beforehand. Burke praised Timberlake for being polite, cooperative, and respectful during his interaction with law enforcement officials.
The details surrounding Justin Timberlake‘s injury remain undisclosed; however, fans can expect updates regarding rescheduled concert dates in due course.
