Justin Timberlake says he's been diagnosed with Lyme disease
Timberlake shared the news in a post commemorating his Forget Tomorrow tour, which wrapped in Turkey on Wednesday, adding that the disease 'can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically'.
The SexyBack singer, who described himself as a private person, wrote that he considered ending the tour when he was diagnosed, but wrote that he 'decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going'.
Lyme disease is transmitted by Ixodes ticks, also known as deer ticks. It can cause flu-like conditions, neurological problems, joint pain and other symptoms. In the vast majority of cases, Lyme disease is successfully treated with antibiotics.
'I honestly don't know what my future is onstage, but I'll always cherish this run! And all of them before! It's been the stuff of legend for me,' Timberlake wrote.
Timberlake cancelled and postponed multiple shows throughout the tour's run, citing health issues including bronchitis and laryngitis.
Six of his US shows were postponed from October and November to February, the singer announced on Instagram.
Timberlake ultimately cancelled the final show of the American leg of the tour in Ohio due to the flu in February.
Representatives for Timberlake did not immediately respond to The Associated Press's request for comment.
Timberlake pleaded guilty to driving while impaired in New York's Hamptons in 2024. As part of his plea deal, the singer gave a public safety announcement in September, urging drivers not to get behind the wheel after drinking.
The ten-time Grammy winner ended the post thanking his wife, Jessica Biel, and their two sons, Silas and Phin, saying, 'Nothing is more powerful than your unconditional love. You are my heart and my home. I'm on my way.'

Yasmin misunderstood the question and thought it was about who she would pick and she wrote Dejon on her board. Later she confessed this to a bewildered Jamie who became clearly upset. In tonight's episode Jamie sat with a couple of the boys and said: "This doesn't go outside of misinterpreted the question and she said Dejon." He continued: "I am a little caught of guard because she is acting like she hates him. "Even in the challenge the other day always oh Meg and Dejon, Meg and Dejon. "Why is she obsessed with him bro? Know what I mean. "Like that is weird." Fans of the show were quick to comment and one wrote: "Yasmin & Jamie I'm gonna need you to just hold it together!! The final is on Monday." Another added: "I completely understand Jamie's confusion, but I think him and Yas just need to have another conversation and it'll all get worked out." Watch the moment FURIOUS row explodes between Love Island's 'strongest couple' as they head for a split just days before final "Yas and Jamie need to sort it out asap! stressing me out," said another fan. Tempers also flared when the Islanders were asked "Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?" Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon and Meg said to Shakira, 'I think if people were honest in the first place. "And told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story.' An emotional Shakira became annoyed at Meg and accused her of being fake and acting like they are mates. She said: "I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' Meg replied: 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake.' Shakira then told her she will never pretend to be her mate. Meg interrupted: 'You won't be my friend on the outside.' Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.'

A major Rauschenberg exhibit is coming to the Guggenheim Museum this fall
A century ago this fall, Robert Rauschenberg was born in Texas. He went on to become a Pop art pioneer and one of the most renowned American artists of this era. Now, museums and galleries across the globe are planning shows that honor the artist's expansive creativity, spirit of curiosity and commitment to change. For its part, NYC's Guggenheim Museum on the Upper East Side will host a major show called " Robert Rauschenberg: Life Can't Be Stopped," running from October 10, 2025–April 5, 2026. The show will feature more than a dozen historic pieces, including Rauschenberg's monumental painting "Barge," all which reflects the artist's radical legacy. The Guggenheim's show will be drawn from its own collection as well as loans from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and focuses on the artist's experiments with using photographs in drawing, painting and printmaking. Rauschenberg's radial use of media imagery and commercial printing techniques led critics to associate him with Pop artists such as Andy Warhol. Like Warhol, Rauschenberg was also enamored with contemporary culture. As he once said to an interviewer, "I want paintings to be reflections of life, and life can't be stopped." Among the highlights of the Guggenheim show is the 32-foot-long silkscreen painting "Barge," mostly created over a 24-hour period in the early 1960s. It's joined by an untitled silkscreen 1963 painting, which introduced vibrant color into his work. One of the earliest pieces in the show is a piece from 1953 called "Untitled (Red Painting)," in which the artist layered brith red paint over a collaged newspaper. Other pieces show how his transfer methods evolved over the decades. The Guggenheim and Rauschenberg have had a long relationship over the years. The museum first included him in a 1961 group show, followed just two years later by a show called by Six Painters and the Object, which was the first museum exhibition of Pop art in New York. In 1997, the Guggenheim presented the most comprehensive retrospective of his career to date—a landmark exhibition spanning its building on Fifth Avenue, the former Guggenheim SoHo and a satellite gallery on Hudson Street. "Robert Rauschenberg's centennial is not only a moment to honor his legacy but also a call to renew our commitment to the radical curiosity and spirit of collaboration that defined his life and work," Courtney J. Martin, Executive Director of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation said in a press release. "The Guggenheim has been a vital partner in sustaining that legacy." While you're at the Guggenheim also check out which features an extraordinary hanging garden. It's on view through January 18, 2026.
