Boston, MA – Justin Timberlake, a Grammy-winning artist, displayed his sense of humor during a concert in Boston on Saturday, where he joked about his recent legal troubles. The 43-year-old singer made a light-hearted reference to his DWI arrest in June during his performance at the TD Garden as part of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
Timberlake quipped, “So uh, is there anyone here tonight that is driving and … no I’m just kidding,” eliciting laughter from the audience. Despite the off-hand remark, he transitioned to a more serious note, expressing his hope for newcomers to feel the love and fellowship at the show.
The singer’s onstage banter followed his arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, where he was charged with a DWI and cited for allegedly running a stop sign and failing to stay in his lane. According to reports, an officer observed Timberlake driving erratically and not adhering to traffic laws.
Despite the legal issues, Timberlake continues with his tour, receiving support from his wife, Jessica Biel. She was seen cheering him on at a concert in New York City, showcasing solidarity amidst the ongoing controversy. The singer’s next court date is set for July 26, although his attendance is not compulsory.
In response to the allegations, Timberlake’s attorney, Edward Burke Jr., expressed readiness to vigorously defend his client. The attorney anticipates addressing the charges in due course, awaiting additional information from the district attorney’s office. Timberlake remains focused on his music and performances, maintaining a busy schedule despite the legal setbacks.
