Justin Timberlake has publicly disclosed his battle with Lyme disease, sharing the news on Instagram amid the finish of his Forget Tomorrow tour in Turkey. The former NSYNC star highlighted the mental and physical toll of the disease, while emphasizing how the joy from performing eclipsed the stress linked to his condition.
Despite a string of health problems, Timberlake completed his tour, though not without setbacks. Adverse health instances like bronchitis and laryngitis led to multiple show cancellations and postponements, with the final U.S. leg in Ohio canceled due to the flu.
His recent diagnosis sheds light on Lyme disease, a bacterial infection spread by deer ticks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports nearly half a million annual treatments in the U.S., underscoring the critical need for early detection. Timberlake extended heartfelt gratitude to his family, especially his wife Jessica Biel, for their unwavering support.
