Justin Timberlake<\/a> divulged that he\u2019s been diagnosed with Lyme disease. On the lengthy Instagram post, he clarifies, \u201cI don\u2019t say so you feel bad for me \u2013\u2013 but to shed some light on what I\u2019ve been up against behind the scenes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\tTimberlake just concluded the lengthy tour in support of his Everything I Thought It Was<\/em> album. The tour, which embarked in April of 2024, has been criticized at various junctures for perceived lackluster performances and numerous postponements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\tTimberland noted on Instagram that the disease has taken a toll on his health in a multitude of ways: \u201cIf you\u2019ve experienced this disease or know someone who has \u2014 then you\u2019re aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWhen 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\u2019m so glad I kept going.\u201d<\/p>\n
