Friday, August 1, 2025 - American singer, Justin Timberlake has revealed he is living with Lyme disease.
The singer-songwriter and actor shared the diagnosis with
his fans in an Instagram post on Thursday as he reflected on the
conclusion of his two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
"As many of you know, I'm a pretty private person. But
as I'm reflecting on the tour and festival tour -- I want to tell you a little
bit about what's going on with me," Timberlake wrote.
JT who shares two sons with wife Jessica Biel, wrote that he
hesitated to share his diagnosis but decided to do so in hopes of being more
transparent with his fans.
"If you've experienced this disease or know someone who
has -- then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating,
both mentally and physically," Timberlake wrote. "When I first got
the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I
would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy
fatigue or sickness. I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or,
keep going and figure it out. I decided the joy that performing brings me far
outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept
going."
