Fans in Columbus were left disappointed Thursday night after Justin Timberlake canceled his Forget Tomorrow World Tour stop at Nationwide Arena—just moments before the show was set to begin.

Timberlake took to social media to break the news, revealing that he had been battling the flu all day but had tried to push through. He wrote, “You guys, I’m heartbroken. I have to cancel the show tonight. I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it’s gotten the best of me. It kills me to disappoint you and my team who worked so hard to make this show happen.”

Originally announced in February 2024, the Columbus stop was initially scheduled for October 23 before being postponed to this week. Unfortunately, illness forced Timberlake to cancel altogether.

The singer reassured fans that full refunds would be issued for their tickets and expressed his love and gratitude to those who had planned to attend. No word yet on whether Columbus will get another rescheduled date.
