Justin Timberlake Battles Lyme Disease: Inside His Health Struggle & Comeback Hopes

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Justin Timberlake has kept a low profile amid his ongoing Lyme disease battle, with RadarOnline reporting on December 9 that the singer is prioritizing his health after powering through his grueling two-year Forget Tomorrow world tour. Insiders say his wife Jessica Biel has been incredibly supportive, encouraging him to get checked when symptoms like nerve pain and extreme fatigue worsened, leading to the July diagnosis he shared transparently on Instagram, his last social media post this year. The New Zealand Herald echoes that Timberlake is doing okay, though the relentlessly debilitating condition has left him reclusive.

Fan backlash lingers from recent tour videos, as AOL notes clips from shows in Transylvania, Romania, and Dublin, Ireland, showing lackluster performances where crowds sang hits like Cant Stop the Feeling while he seemed low-energy, sparking TikTok mockery with nearly 300,000 likes. No public appearances or new social media mentions have surfaced in the past few days.

On the business front, Romania Insider announced Timberlake will headline the 2025 Electric Castle festival at Banffy Castle near Cluj-Napoca from July 16 to 20, his first-ever gig in Romania, promising timeless hits and tracks from Everything I Thought It Was. Meanwhile, Joey McIntyre of New Kids on the Block pitched a dream NSYNC-NKOTB-Backstreet Boys supergroup tour in interviews with The National Desk and others on December 12, urging Timberlake to say yes despite his health hurdles, even floating a boy band aid benefit or duets album. No response from Timberlake yet.

Longer-term, AOL highlights his deep Memphis roots through philanthropy like Stax Music Academy support and past ventures including Grizzlies ownership and Sauza 901 tequila. Speculation swirls on a new album titled Everything I Thought It Was with Timbaland, but nothing confirmed recently. Timberlakes focus remains recovery, with fans hoping for a stronger return.
