From delays to ‘sub-par’ performances with barely any singing – insiders reveal what’s really going on with Justin Timberlake’s world tour

BBG News

Justin Timberlake’s global tour has faced controversy ever since his DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) arrest in the Hamptons. This incident made headlines when he expressed to the officer that it would negatively impact his tour, saying “This is going to disrupt the tour.

Ever since the high-profile legal incident in Sag Harbor, Timberlake’s tour has been beset by a series of problems, such as wardrobe mishaps, poor ticket sales, sudden cancellations, disputes with his team, and more recently, allegations of subpar performances.

Previously in July, a video went viral showing Justin Timberlake, aged 44, becoming visibly upset during his concert at England’s Lytham Festival. The widely-shared footage depicted the musician struggling to maintain composure due to technical difficulties affecting his performance of “Cry Me a River.

It appears Justin Timberlake lost his cool, launching into an angry outburst, leaving his surprised colleagues in disbelief as he walked off.

However, his troubles with touring don’t stop there. Currently, the renowned pop star is under fire from his supporters following performances in Romania and Ireland. They claim he lip-synced lazily during these shows and are now urging him to cancel due to what they perceive as a waste of their money.

Exclusively, Daily Mail uncovers the story behind the contentious concerts of the artist, along with the reasons why his wife, Jessica Biel, is urgently imploring him to abandon touring due to the intense criticism he’s facing.

A source close to the situation shared with the Daily Mail that Justin Timberlake is feeling stuck and is yearning for something fresh due to his struggling tour. Following his performance in Romania, a popular TikTok post garnered 460,000 likes when a fan who spent a substantial amount of money to attend commented that he was extremely disappointed with Justin’s show.

At the performance, the actor known for The Social Network arrived tardily on stage, and it seemed like he barely sang more than a few words of each tune, as reported by attendees. Additionally, he donned spectacles and a cap during the show, which left the audience unable to clearly see him. This resulted in numerous individuals storming out in frustration.

The content creator pointed out that it wasn’t appropriate for someone to perform two songs and then pause, labeling this behavior as both impolite and disrespectful. He further suggested the individual should reconsider the idea behind their tour. The performance was so lackluster that numerous fans requested a refund due to its embarrassment.

In Dublin, Justin Timberlake’s concert was quite similar to what one would expect, as evidenced by footage showing him casually letting go of the microphone, strolling nonchalantly on stage, and noticeably skipping his signature dance routines.

An anonymous source revealed that Justin Timberlake is eager to compose fresh tunes and try out something novel, yet he finds himself in a rut as he keeps singing the familiar tracks he’s been performing for years, which has dampened his enthusiasm.

Although there have been whispers that he might reunite with his boy band NSYNC, it hasn’t happened yet. The rumors about a reunion reached their peak when their previous rivals, the Backstreet Boys, came together at the Las Vegas Sphere for a legendary residency show.

Actually, online fans have been urging Timberlake to reunite with his old boy band, playfully suggesting that if he intends to perform fewer songs in his recent concerts, it would be more enjoyable for everyone if they could share the stage together instead.

As a connoisseur of life’s rhythm, I must admit, it’s disheartening to see him struggling with karaoke performances recently. He acknowledges that his spark has diminished, and he yearns to regain the magic that once made him shine.

An outside perspective offered insights into their marital troubles, which seem to have escalated due to his extensive touring, affecting his relationship with his actress spouse. They are parents to Silas, aged ten, and Phineas, who is four years old.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve noticed a significant change in Justin since the commencement of The Forget Tomorrow World Tour last April. It appears that the rigors of tour life have accelerated his apparent aging process.

Despite the tour concluding on July 30, with remaining destinations in Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey, it’s clear that the strain has impacted Biel, aged 43, not only physically but also emotionally.

Justin Timberlake’s loyal spouse has been unwavering in her support throughout various public scandals, one of which occurred in 2019 when photos emerged showing him holding hands with actress Alisha Wainwright while they were out socializing in New Orleans.

Currently, Biel finds himself concerned about having bitten off more than he can chew, as an informant mentioned that he is no longer in his youthful twenties, where he could jet-set across the globe for one concert after another.

Originally, Justin Timberlake was a dominant figure in the pop music scene. However, during his recent tour, he has encountered disappointing sales and dismal reviews. Ticket prices at some locations have plummeted to almost nothing, and he’s played to only half-filled venues as well.

It hasn’t been beneficial for Timberlake that he had to abruptly cancel several concerts, causing frustration among fans who had already purchased tickets and in some instances traveled to attend the shows, only to learn later that he wouldn’t be performing.

On Thursday in February, the artist known for “Cry Me a River” unexpectedly called off the last U.S. tour date at Columbus, Ohio’s Nationwide Arena due to illness, just four months after postponing his October 23 concert there due to laryngitis and bronchitis.

Not only his supporters, but it seems even Timberlake himself is feeling dismayed. An insider shared a possible cause: the singer’s disappointment stems from ticket sales not meeting his anticipated high numbers.

‘He’s become short tempered both on and off stage,’ the source divulged. 

The Daily Mail has contacted Timberlake’s reps for comment.
