COLUMBUS, Ohio – Justin Timberlake’s highly anticipated concert in Columbus was abruptly canceled just moments before it was scheduled to take place on Thursday evening.
The pop star took to Instagram to share the disappointing news with his fans, revealing that he was battling the flu during soundcheck and ultimately had to call off the show. Columbus was slated to be the final stop on the U.S. leg of his tour.
In an emotional post, Timberlake expressed his deep regret for letting down both his fans and the hard-working team behind the show. He assured ticket holders that they would be receiving refunds for the canceled performance.
