Justin Timberlake discusses Lyme disease diagnosis
Justin Timberlake shared his health status on his official Instagram account. While posting a stunning collection of concert photos, his caption began with, "As these remarkable two years draw to a close and I look ahead to what’s next, I felt compelled to share something heartfelt. It’s quite a challenge to encapsulate the whirlwind of touring –– but, I will give it a shot…"
He continued, "This has been the most enjoyable, emotional, fulfilling, physically challenging, and, at times, exhausting journey. I have been doing this for over 30 years (which feels surreal to admit) –– and have poured everything I have into this. I couldn’t have achieved this without my family, friends, The TN Kids, and all of YOUR encouragement.
As many of you might know, I tend to keep my life private. However, as I reflect on the tour and festival circuit – I want to share a bit about what’s happening with me."

If you’ve dealt with this illness or know someone who has — then you understand: living with this can be persistently debilitating, both mentally and physically. When I first received the diagnosis, I was certainly taken aback. But, at least I could comprehend why I would be on stage experiencing significant nerve pain or feeling overwhelming fatigue or illness. I was confronted with a personal choice. Should I stop touring? Or, should I continue and find a way to manage it? I chose to embrace the joy that performing brings me, which far surpasses the temporary discomfort my body was experiencing. I’m truly grateful I chose to keep going.
