Justin Timberlake Slammed for ‘Tired’ Tour Performances Amid Marital Tension With Jessica Biel

Justin Timberlake is saying Bye Bye Bye to his tour soon — and some fans think that’s for the best.

The 44-year-old hitmaker embarked on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in April 2024 and is now on the final leg, with only one show left in Istanbul, Turkey, on July 30. Over the past week, clips of the 10-time Grammy Award winner letting the crowd sing for him have gone viral on social media, with many fans criticizing Timberlake for his lack of vocals during performances.

“Apparently, Justin Timberlake put on a concert and simply let the audience sing his songs 👇😂😂😂😂 Imagine paying for this!” one user wrote on X alongside a clip of the former ’NSync member letting the crowd sing the lyrics to “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”

“I see a lot of artists do this when they get old and tired and can’t really do it anymore,” a second fan pointed out.

“Now that’s one way to save the vocal cords — Even I could give a concert like that,” a third fan commented.

Other fans didn’t see an issue with the “SexyBack” artist’s performances.

“As someone who has seen hundreds of concerts I don’t see what the problem is here,” a fourth fan penned. “I have experienced many many acts doing this during live shows, it is a way of making your fans part of the whole experience. Usually when it is done it is done for a verse or a chorus. No big deal.”

A fifth fan wrote, “Yeah, imagine writing songs so good an entire crowd of people know them by heart.”

Another person jokingly empathized with Timberlake who has been on tour for well over a year, writing, “I also get tired 5 minutes into my job.”

As Star previously reported, tension has been mounting behind the scenes with Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel — with whom he shares sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4.

“The energy around them as a couple is really bad right now because they are on such different paths,” a source recently revealed. “When Justin gets off the road and gets back to family life, there’s going to be a reckoning.”

The source shared that Biel, 43, had been “killing herself with her Emmy campaign” for her role in The Better Sister — she did not earn a nomination — and that Timberlake didn’t “participate” much, partly due to his hectic work schedule but also because he “might have too much baggage to make a difference there.”

Back in 2024, Timberlake was arrested for a DWI in New York, and rumors circulated that Biel was done with him.

Additionally, the source noted that the couple’s “closest friends” are worried their union could “all come apart before the end of the year.”
