Justin Timberlake Stops Austin Show To Help Fan In Need Mid-Concert: 'House Lights Up'
Justin Timberlake is bringing 'Sexy Back,' chilvary — and the house lights at a recent concert.
While the singer was performing 'Cry Me a River,' he reportedly noticed an audience member in need of medical attention. At first, the *NSYNC star tried to alert security. From the stage at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, Timberlake began pointing to the concert-goer who needed help.
Then he stopped the song himself.
"House lights up, thank you! Sorry everybody, one second... we need some assistance right here about five rows back," the performer said into the microphone. Upon getting the attention of the fan he asked, "Are we okay? No, no problem!" The audience member thanked Timberlake and the concert resumed.
A clip of the exchange was shared to TikTok.
@lionlatch Replying to @shellbell4190 The fan was ok! “The singer-songwriter hit the stage at the Moody Center at Austin -- Saturday night ... and, during his show, he stopped and shouted for the house lights to come up.” - @TMZ #justintimberlake #forgettomorrowtour @Justin Timberlake ♬ original sound - Lion Latch
According to a TMZ eyewitness, the audience member returned to her seat shortly after.
Timberlake's current tour, the 'Forget Tomorrow World Tour' began at the end of April. The star announced he would be returning from his five year touring hiatus on 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon' back in January.
The 'Can't Stop The Feeling' singer is not stopping his tour any time soon. Due to an overwhelming outpouring of ticket sales, the star has added nine new tour dates. Shows have now been added in Philadelphia, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Wichita, St. Louis, and Kansas City.
The tour comes after the release of his new album 'Everything That I Was' which was released on March 15th. It debuted at number 18 on the top streaming chart and No. 4 on the US Billboard 200. All six of Timberlake's studio albums have debuted as a top five album in the US.
The two hour concert features a selection of songs from the new album alongside some of his fan-favorite classics including 'Rock Your Body,' 'Suit and Tie,' 'Sexy Back,' and 'My Love.'
The next stop on the 'Forget Tomorrow World Tour' will be in Fort Worth on Tuesday.
Tickets for the new show dates are on sale now.
