Justin Timberlake has opened up about his personal health battles while responding to critics about his disastrous music tour.
The former NSYNC boy band member shared his shocking battle with Lyme Disease, a condition that he says left him shocked.
The 44-year-old star faced a barrage of abuse from concertgoers as he failed to sing most of the songs and relied on lip syncing to get him through.
But that’s not all that impacted his tour. There were plenty of last-minute cancellations and accusations of lackluster performances in recent times.
The backlash has made him realize that if he is to carry on performing, it needs to be with NSYNC and not solo. The star did reveal through his reps that he understands why people are so upset with him and disappointed. But he knew that this was going to be what his tour was all about, so he went ahead with it.
The star did share how he’s not looking for sympathy after sharing about the health struggles that he’s endured privately, but he does hope to fight out the medical condition that is known to be debilitating in nature.
An insider mentioned that Justin is not happy with the way the tour has turned out and wants to make it up to his fans. He will be working harder for future shows, and that includes adding more live elements and avoiding last-minute mishaps that really tarnished his reputation.
