According to Page Six, Timberlake is resuming his Forget Tomorrow World Tour on Friday, June 21. He will be performing at the United Center in Chicago on Friday and Saturday, June 22.
After his time in Chicago, Justin Timberlake will head back to New York for his back-to-back shows a Madison Square Garden next Tuesday, June 25, and Wednesday, June 26.
A music source told the media outlet that Timberlake will “continue promotion” for his latest album, Everything I Thought It Was, as planned. They also noted that none of the tour dates have been changed due to the legal incident earlier this week.
Justin Timberlake was arrested for DWI early Tuesday, June 18 after hanging out with friends at The American Hotel in Sag, Harbor, New York. He was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated. He also received multiple citations, which were failure to stop at a stop sign and failure to keep right.
After being noticeably intoxicated, the officer who stopped Timberlake arrested him and took him to the Sag Harbor Police Station. He was released hours later following his arraignment. His mugshot was released not long after that.
Timberlake’s attorney, Edward Burke Jr., stated he looks forward to “vigorously” defending the pop singer in court. “He will have a lot to say at the appropriate time,” Burke said. “He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.”
