Justin Timberlake Cancels Columbus, Ohio Show Due to Illness

(WIND NEWS) Columbus, Ohio – Fans in Columbus were left disappointed as Justin Timberlake canceled his performance at Nationwide Arena on February 27, 2025, just hours before showtime. The singer announced that he had been battling the flu, and despite his best efforts to recover, his condition worsened, forcing him to cancel the final stop of his U.S. tour.

Timberlake took to social media to express his regret, sharing that the decision was incredibly difficult for him. He also reassured fans that refunds would be issued for those who had tickets to the show. “It kills me to have to cancel this show,” he wrote in an emotional Instagram post. "I’ve been fighting through the flu, but unfortunately it’s just not in the cards tonight."

The concert, originally rescheduled from October 2024 due to Timberlake’s illness with bronchitis and laryngitis, was highly anticipated by fans. However, some expressed frustration with the last-minute cancellation, especially since the doors had already opened at the venue before the announcement was made.

This is the second significant show Timberlake has canceled recently. In October 2024, he also had to cancel a performance in Newark, New Jersey, citing an undisclosed injury.

Despite these setbacks, Timberlake is expected to continue his “Forget Tomorrow” World Tour, with the next stop scheduled for Lollapalooza Argentina in March 2025.

Fans hoping for a rescheduled Columbus date may have to wait for updates, but refunds are being processed for those affected by the sudden cancellation.
