Justin Timberlake Cancels London Show and Says He Feels ‘Terrible’ After Flu Takes ‘Turn for the Worse’

Justin Timberlake will have to bring the sexy back to London later because he is still fighting the flu.

The superstar was due to perform a one-night show at London’s Roundhouse on Friday, but announced the cancellation in a video he shared on his Instagram Story on Thursday, letting fans know his flu symptoms had worsened since earlier this month.

“Hi everyone,” Timberlake, 43, began in a husky voice selfie style video. “This is an unfortunate video to have to send, but I’m sure you can tell from the sound of things that I won’t be able to make it to Friday’s show, which I’m bummed about.”

He told fans he had been “in London all week” ahead of the concert, but began to feel worse after appearing on TV earlier this week. “As you may or may not know, I’ve been struggling with some kind of bug,” the *NSYNC alum explained.

“I thought I was getting better, but it only got worse. We almost didn’t make it [The Graham Norton Show]but I made it through,” Timberlake added. “I woke up this morning feeling worse than ever.”

The “Rock Your Body” singer is already due to return to London for a concert at the O2 Arena in August as part of his upcoming Forget Tomorrow world tour, but has expressed his desire to make up for the Roundhouse show as well.

“All I can say is that maybe next time we’re in town I’ll be able to repay you and rock the Roundhouse one more time,” Timberlake said. “But for now I feel terrible. I hope none of you get this flu. Thanks, I love you and see you next time.”

Earlier this month, Trolls Band together star revealed he’s coming down with the flu in an Instagram video of him performing an acoustic rendition of his recent single “Selfish” in less-than-perfect vocal conditions.

The Grammy winner is currently preparing for the release of a new album Everything I thought it was March 15. On Friday, he released his latest single “Drown”.
