Justin Timberlake faces backlash on tour for poor performance amid claims he’s ‘in a rut’
Justin Timberlake is reportedly “in a rut” as fans criticise his ongoing Forget Tomorrow World Tour for “lazy” performances and lack of energy. According to insiders, the pop star “knows he’s lost his mojo” and is struggling with declining morale during the tour.
The backlash intensified after a viral video from England’s Lytham Festival showed Timberlake lashing out at his crew over sound issues. Concertgoers in Romania and Ireland further accused him of lip-syncing, minimal vocal effort, and being disconnected from audiences, prompting many to walk out mid-show.
A source told the Daily Mail that Timberlake “wants to create new music” and is weary of performing his old hits repeatedly. Fans online have also expressed disappointment.
Timberlake reportedly appeared late on stage and sang only a few words of each song, wearing sunglasses throughout and moving listlessly.
His wife, Jessica Biel, is said to be concerned about the toll the tour is taking on his mental and physical health. “Jessica thinks Justin has aged years since he started the tour,” a separate source revealed, adding that he’s become “short-tempered both on and off stage.”
While Timberlake has yet to publicly respond, many fans are urging a return to form, suggesting an NSYNC reunion might help lift spirits and restore energy to his performances.
