“We need some assistance right here about five rows back,” the *NSYNC star said in a clip shared on social media
Justin Timberlake is looking out for his fans!
On Saturday, June 1, the singer, 43, was performing his 2002 hit “Cry Me a River” at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas when he noticed a fan seemingly needing assistance.
In a video shared on TikTok, Timberlake was seen briefly halting his Forget Tomorrow World Tour performance to check up on the fan in question.
After telling the crowd to “put your hands up” to the song, he tried to get a member of the security team’s attention, pointing to the person who appeared to need help.
“House lights up, thank you! Sorry everybody one second… we need some assistance right here about five rows back,” the *NSYNC star said.
“Are we OK? No, no problem!” the musician told the fan after they seemingly thanked him for stopping the show to check on them.
“OK, we’re OK,” Timberlake said while smiling and clapping.
Per TMZ, an eyewitness said paramedics weren’t called to the scene and the fan in question later returned to their seat.
The incident came after Timberlake ended a five-year hiatus on April 29, 2024, to kick off his latest world tour at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada. He announced he was going on tour on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in January.
Timberlake delivered two hours of back-to-back hits and new favorites from his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was, according to a release.
The star is set to take the stage at Fort Worth, Texas on June 4, before heading to cities including Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, New York City, and Boston in June. He’ll wrap up the tour on Dec. 20, 2024, at Kansas City’s T-Mobile Center.
