Justin Timberlake blasted over 'highly unprofessional' spat on stage after sound

Justin Timberlake blasted over 'highly unprofessional' spat on stage after sound

Metro15-07-2025
Disaster struck Justin Timberlake's recent UK festival performance as the sound cut out, sparking a seemingly heated conversation on stage.
The Mirrors singer was midway through performing Cry Me A River when his microphone, the live band, and backing track went completely silent.
While the Lytham Festival crowd attempted to sing the lyrics until the sound returned but it seemed they would not be bringing sexy back for that song.
Afterwards, Justin, 44, was filmed on stage speaking with crew members in what appeared to be a short spat as he vented his frustration.
He seemed to discuss the time with one crew member, appearing to reassure the singer briefly as they tried to get things back on track.
Another man walked up, this time prompting sharp movements from Justin as he appeared to 'scream' at them, according to fans watching.
The 10-time Grammy winner, who was arrested last year for drunk driving, was branded 'highly unprofessional' by fans after the clip from July 5 was posted to TikTok.
'Justin Timberlake fuming as sound cuts,' wrote Aydannzacc on TikTok as they posted the clip, which now has over 630,000 views.
'Losing it with your support crew is considered highly unprofessional in the world of stage performance…' wrote Copa in the comments of Aydannzacc's video.
Inksskni added: 'Look I get it's frustrating and all that but why is he so angry 😭 it's being fixed as they speak to him, no reason to be kicking off, as the damage is done (so I guess I'll be leaving) 💃.'#
On X, nonalisaney81 said: 'Imagine screaming at your own team that helps you put your show together. What a clown.'
'It's embarrassing the behaviors Justin gets away with,' wrote a dedicated Justin troll account titled 'Justin Timberjail'.
They added: 'Maybe if you treated your team with respect instead of throwing tantrums, your mic wouldn't keep cutting out.'
Others defended Justin, with MidnightToker on TikTok arguing he was 'justified' as 'they have had hours to get ready'.
'I don't blame him. He's there to entertain. He was hired to perform for paying customers,' added cheezyphish.
'I'm actually so glad to see this because I thought he handled it way too calmly and professionally!' said sarahjane_careersindig. 'If it was anyone else they would have GONE OFF!! He was amazing though when the PA system came back on ♥️👏.'
'He's a perfectionist especially when it comes to his performances and shows! ❤️he's the best,' shared meggerz443.
X user bluvsnsync wrote: 'I would be angry too if my set wasn't working and i had 30k people waiting.' More Trending
The original TikTok poster shared that there were 'some electrical issues' but things were resolved 'quickly' and he finished his set.
Justin didn't address the issue on social media, but posted a collection of snaps from the show with the caption: 'Lytham, I LOVE Y'ALL!'
It seems this festival blunder won't ruin the world tour after all.
Metro has reached out to Justin and Lytham Festival for comment.

'UK's poshest Greggs' is in Grade II listed building and steeped in history

Greggs is one of the UK's most beloved fast food chains, and fans of the eatery are just realising there's a particularly 'posh' branch in a 300-year-old building There's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a Greggs pastry while you're rushing about, or grabbing one of their sandwiches or coffees from the beloved sausage roll emporium for your lunch. Devotees love it for being affordable and dependable - and you can spot its distinctive blue, white and yellow Greggs branding from miles away. ‌ But this particular branch in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, appears rather different and has been crowned "the poshest" Greggs in Britain. This extraordinary branch sits within a 17th century Grade II* listed structure and is frequently hailed as the most beautiful Greggs across the nation. ‌ The heritage building's facade features timber panelling and merges Victorian, Georgian, Tudor and 1930s architectural elements. ‌ Back in the 1700s, it launched as a grocer and tea merchant, which remained in business until the 1960s. Today, it houses Britain's beloved bakery chain. Until recently, the outlet was covered in scaffolding as part of an 18-month restoration scheme. This work is now finished: the building's front has been reconstructed whilst numerous windows have been renewed and sections of the roof have been fixed. On Reddit, the outlet was christened "the country's poshest Greggs". ‌ This week, a TikTok user posted footage of the establishment and declared: "Sorry but this is the poshest Greggs I've ever seen." Greggs responded to the clip, saying: "RIP Henry VIII you would have loved Bury St Edmunds Greggs." ‌ Someone else remarked: "That isn't a Greggs. That's a Gregorys." Another said: "It's like Greggs and Wetherspoons had a baby." Another person concurred, observing: "That ain't Greggs that's Gregory's tavern for the whimsical." "I just know people eating sausage rolls with their pinky's out," one user quipped. Another likened the place to "Greggs if it was in a fantasy world." ‌ A local resident chimed in: "I grew up in that town. Everybody called it bakers oven cause that's what it was called before Greggs took it over." "I kind of like the fact they've not changed the outside of the building too much," said one other. "Love Bury Greggs," another fan declared. "If only every Greggs looked like that," added one other. In other food news, a woman recently tried a"secret" coffee shop at Buckingham Palace but was floored by the price. Another food lover tried the "UK's most expensive sandwiches" from Harrods and shared her review. Do you have a story? Get in touch at
