Justin Timberlake

Actor-singer Justin Timberlake addressed his recent arrest for the first time during his concert in Chicago, USA on June 21 evening.

“It’s been a tough week. I know I’m hard to love sometimes, but you keep loving me right back,” Timberlake told the United Center crowd, as per news reports.

Timberlake made these remarks during a message to his fans, emphasising that they’ve both been through “ups-and-downs and lefts-and-rights.”

During his arrest, Timberlake voiced his concern that the traffic stop would “ruin the tour.”

Timberlake is currently on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which kicked off in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Apr 29 and includes stops in more than 50 cities.

However, on June 20, a music industry insider confirmed that the legal incident would not affect the ongoing tour and that he would “continue promotion for his album (‘Everything I Thought It Was’) as planned, which, of course, includes his tour dates.”

His Chicago concert marked his first performance following his brief stint in jail.

The 10-time Grammy winner was arrested in New York shortly after midnight on June 18 while travelling back to his hotel from a dinner with friends.
