Justin Timberlake cancels another concert on world tour after injury: ‘You know I hate doing this’
Justin Timberlake has canceled another concert on his “The Forget Tomorrow World Tour” after injuring his back in New Orleans.
On Saturday, the 43-year-old singer announced that his show at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City will not take place on December 2 as previously planned.
“I’m so sorry Oklahoma City,” the “Selfish” hitmaker wrote in a message she shared on her Instagram Story. “I have to cancel this show on 12/2. I injured my back in Nola and my doctors have ordered me to rest for a while. Thank you for your support – you know I hate doing this.”
A rescheduled date for the concert has not been announced. Timberlake last performed at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Theater on Nov. 25, before taking a week off for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The cancellation of the Oklahoma City concert is the latest in a series of shows that Timberlake has canceled over the past few weeks due to health issues.
In an Instagram post dated October 22, Timberlake announced on Instagram that he had to reschedule a six-date concert after being diagnosed with bronchitis and laryngitis.
“Hey guys – I haven’t been feeling well for the last few games and it turns out I have bronchitis and laryngitis,” he wrote. “I am very sorry to say that I need to reschedule the next few shows from 10/23 to 11/2. New dates listed above. Thank you for your understanding – I will get back to you.’
Concerts in Chicago, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minnesota, and Columbus, Ohio, were rescheduled for February 2025.

The 10-time Grammy Award winner shared the news on Instagram, saying it was being postponed due to an undisclosed “injury.”
“I’m very sorry to cancel tonight’s show. I have an injury that means to prevent me from doing. I’m so disappointed not to see you all – but I’m working on rescheduling ASAP. I promise to help you and give you the right plan,” Timberlake wrote alongside a broken heart emoji.
“Thank you guys for understanding. Appreciate your continued support,” he added.

“RU KIDDING. 30 minutes before the doors!?” commented another fan.
“Everyone traveling is 30+… we have full time jobs, kids, families etc. We had to mentally prepare to stay up late, get babysitters and pet sitters, take off work to go,” wrote another. “2 hrs before showtime is unacceptable. And that’s IF you get it fast. Not everyone checks social media. I was already there. Unbelievable.”
The former *NSYNC member performed at the rescheduled concert one week later.
Timberlake is back on the road for the first time in five years with The Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which he launched in support of his sixth studio album “All I Could Think About.” The singer’s seventh headlining world tour kicked off on April 29 in Vancouver, Canada.
