In a heartfelt Instagram post shared on July 31, 2025, Justin Timberlake revealed that he had been quietly battling Lyme disease during his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. The 44-year-old singer described the illness as “relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,” shedding light on the personal struggles he faced behind the scenes.
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted through tick bites. Symptoms can range from fatigue and joint pain to nerve issues and cognitive difficulties. Timberlake noted experiencing nerve pain, extreme fatigue, and sickness while performing, which initially left him confused until the diagnosis provided clarity.
