Timberlake stated, “Living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,” adding that the diagnosis helped explain much of the pain he experienced while performing.
Despite the challenges, Timberlake expressed that he could never imagine giving up performing, explaining 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.”
Timberlake is among several celebrities who have faced Lyme disease, including Justin Bieber, Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Daryl Hall, and Kelly Osbourne.
During his tour, Timberlake created numerous viral moments, from his arrest in the Hamptons to social media’s fascination with his bulge, revealing that he was dealing with much more than he had previously let on.
