Justin Timberlake has officially canceled his upcoming concert on December 2 at Oklahoma City’s Paycom Center due to a significant back injury. This unfortunate announcement marks the eighth concert that has been postponed in the fall leg of Timberlake’s highly anticipated The Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which originally kicked off in April. Fans have been eagerly awaiting his performances, and the news of this cancellation has raised concerns about his health and the future of the tour.

In a heartfelt message shared via an Instagram Story on Saturday (November 30), Timberlake expressed his deep regret to his Oklahoma City fans, stating, “I’m so sorry Oklahoma City… I have to cancel the show on 12/2. I hurt my back in NOLA and my doctors have instructed me to rest a little bit longer. Thank you for your support – y’all know I hate doing this.” As of now, a date for the rescheduled performance has not been announced, leaving fans hopeful yet anxious for updates on their favorite artist’s recovery.

Just a few weeks prior, in late October, Timberlake was forced to cancel six concerts across major cities including Columbus, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Grand Rapids due to health issues, specifically a case of bronchitis and laryngitis. These performances have been rescheduled for 2025, prompting fans to mark their calendars for the new dates. This string of cancellations highlights the challenges that come with touring, particularly when health concerns arise.

Before these recent cancellations, Timberlake had already postponed a concert in Newark, New Jersey, earlier in October due to an injury that hindered his ability to perform. The good news is that he was able to reschedule that show and successfully performed just a week later, demonstrating his commitment to his fans and his passion for live music. However, these incidents raise questions about the artist’s well-being and the toll that touring can take on performers.

As it stands, Justin Timberlake is scheduled to return to the stage on December 4 in Houston, Texas, a performance that many fans are eagerly anticipating. This upcoming concert will be a crucial moment for Timberlake as he aims to regain momentum and connect with his audience after these setbacks.

The Forget Tomorrow World Tour is set to continue through December 20 before taking a holiday break and resuming on January 13. This extensive tour sees Timberlake traveling across North America and includes performances at various festivals in South America and Europe. For fans wanting to catch Timberlake live, a complete list of tour dates and locations is available on his official website, ensuring they stay updated on any changes or announcements.

This current tour promotes his latest album, Everything I Thought It Was, which made a remarkable debut at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart in March. The album has received positive reviews and has added to Timberlake’s reputation as a versatile and talented artist in the music industry.
