Justin Timberlake cancels final concert of U.S. tour due to illness

Justin Timberlake has been forced to cancel the final concert of his U.S. tour because he's "battling the flu".

The SexyBack hitmaker was scheduled to perform as part of his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio on Thursday night.

However, Justin took to Instagram shortly before the venue was due to open to announce that he was sick and unable to take to the stage.

"You guys. I'm heartbroken," he wrote. "I have to cancel the show tonight. I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it's gotten the best of me. It kills me to disappoint you and my team worked so hard to make this show happen."

Justin reassured fans they would have their tickets refunded but didn't indicate whether he planned on returning to the city for another concert in the future.

"I love you all," the 44-year-old added.

It marks the second time Justin has canned the Ohio gig.

The show was originally scheduled for October 2024 but was postponed after the singer-songwriter was diagnosed with bronchitis and laryngitis.

Justin is next set to perform at the Hipódromo de San Isidro in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 21 March.

He will then fly to Europe for a string of concerts, before concluding The Forget Tomorrow World Tour run in Paris on 20 July.
