Justin Timberlake's earlier cancellation in Newark due to injury
This is not the first time Justin Timberlake has had to cancel shows on this tour. In early October, four months after his DUI arrest in Hamptons, the singer also postponed a concert in Newark, New Jersey, due to an undisclosed injury.
Announcing the news on Instagram stories, he shared, "I promise to make it all up to you and give you the show y'all deserve."
Although he did not reveal the specifics of the injury, Timberlake reassured fans, saying, "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," he wrote.
Justin Timberlake's DUI arrest followed tour issues
Justin Timberlake's tour issues have scaled up after his arrest for driving under the influence in June.
The 'Like I Love You' singer was pulled over near the American Hotel in Sag Harbor in the Hamptons, just after midnight on June 18.
Timberlake's DUI has left him charge-free after a plea deal with a reduced charge of driving with ability impaired.
The deal was he agreed to pay the maximum fine of $500 and a surcharge of $260.
One more component of the deal, according to Daily Mail, was his willingness to do a public service video for the organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
