After the incident with the police, Justin Timberlake is not ignoring what happened. At his first concert since then, he is taking a stand.
Pop star Justin Timberlake has given his first concert since the drunk driving incident – and he didn’t pretend that nothing had happened. “It’s been a rough week, but you’re here and I’m here and nothing can change that right now,” the 43-year-old said to a cheering crowd in Chicago, as seen on numerous recordings on the Internet. “I know sometimes it’s hard to love me, but you keep loving me and I love you back.”
Timberlake is scheduled to appear on stage today for a second concert of the “Forget Tomorrow” world tour at the United Center Chicago. Then he’ll head to New York. According to the tour schedule, the multiple Grammy winner will also be giving concerts in Berlin, Munich, Cologne and Hamburg in July and August.
The incident
The US singer (“Cry Me A River”, “Can’t Stop The Feeling”) was caught drunk behind the wheel of a car a few days ago and temporarily taken into police custody. The so-called “mug shot”, the police photo of Timberlake in custody, caused a lot of excitement.
He is accused of drunk driving and other traffic violations, according to a statement from a police department on Long Island. According to police, the incident occurred shortly after midnight on Tuesday in the town of Sag Harbor, about 150 kilometers from New York City.
Among other things, Timberlake ran a stop sign and was then stopped by a patrol car. After a court appearance on Tuesday morning (local time), he was released. The next court appearance is scheduled for the end of July.
The singer was already a child star, became famous primarily with the boy band *NSYNC and was once in a relationship with Britney Spears. Today he is one of the biggest US pop stars. He is married to the actress Jessica Biel and has two children.
