About this listen
The past few days have seen Justin Timberlake step out of the global spotlight and into a time of recovery and honest reflection. Fresh off the triumphant final stop of his two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour in Istanbul on July 30, Timberlake stunned fans and the industry by publicly revealing, via Instagram, that he has been battling Lyme disease. His posts described months of relentless pain, debilitating fatigue, and nerve issues that he first chalked up to age and the grind of touring. Timberlake said he kept his diagnosis private at first, but decided to speak out now to shed light on both the physical and mental toll the disease exacts, adding that the challenge had given him clarity about unexplained issues he’d quietly managed behind the scenes. According to People, it was his wife Jessica Biel who encouraged him to seek medical help when she noticed he was not himself, and she remains steadfastly supportive as he now focuses on rest and recovery with his family.
Social media lit up with support. His Instagram Story, showing himself in a shirt reading “I’m not doing s*** today,” matched the mood—humor returning to the front now that the tour is complete and the health ordeal is public. His former NSYNC bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick praised Timberlake’s “superhero” resilience, saying he’d witnessed another level of toughness as Justin powered through shows regardless of pain and exhaustion, a sentiment echoed by fans and music figures alike.
Business headlines followed another big Timberlake move in Nashville. The Farm Nashville, a luxury golf venture co-developed by Timberlake and backed by 8AM Golf, just announced the acquisition of a total of 475 acres northwest of downtown Nashville, including a recent $7.5 million purchase, to build an exclusive, members-only course called Bounty Club. The company describes the membership as “highly curated,” adding another elite offering to the city’s expanding golf scene. This isn’t Timberlake’s only Nashville enterprise—he also co-owns The Twelve Thirty Club on Lower Broadway, continuing to deepen his business ties to the city alongside his music career.
On fan pages and Instagram, Timberlake was recently spotted, newly clean-shaven and in good spirits, drawing comments about his appearance and his return home. Hashtags like #jtlive25 trended as social accounts celebrated the marathon tour, while news outlets like US Weekly and AOL ran headlines emphasizing his openness about Lyme disease, the tour’s emotional finish, and his next chapter of healing. No new music or film announcements have broken in the past week, but Timberlake’s candor and resilience are driving the Justin Timberlake conversation as summer winds down. There is speculation from some music insiders that this health revelation and period of rest could reshape his future touring and recording plans, but nothing is confirmed. For now, Timberlake’s story is about hard-won perseverance, a new chapter of self-care, and business ventures that keep him at the center of both pop culture and Nashville’s social scene.
