According to WBNS-10TV and multiple social media posts from disappointed fans, Timberlake’s Instagram post went out no more than 10-15 minutes before the concert at the Nationwide Arena was scheduled to start at 7.30pm.
Justin Timberlake cancelled the final show of his US tour in Columbus, Ohio, barely 10 minutes before the concert was set to start.
He issued an apology following his guilty plea to one count of driving while impaired, saying: “Many of you have probably been covering me for a lot of my life and as you may know I try to hold myself to a very high standard for myself, and this was not that.
Police said that Timberlake “performed poorly on all standardised field sobriety tests” and repeatedly refused to take a breathalyser, adding that he had glassy eyes and smelled of alcohol.
Fans were left livid due to the short notice of the cancellation and questioned why the singer left the decision until the last minute.
