Justin Timberlake Slammed for ‘Tired’ Tour Performances Amid Marital Tension With Jessica Biel

Justin Timberlake Slammed for 'Tired' Tour Performances Amid Marital Tension With Jessica Biel

Justin Timberlakeis saying Bye Bye Bye to his tour soon — and some fans think that's for the best. The 44-year-old hitmaker embarked on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in April 2024 and is now on the final leg, with only one show left in Istanbul, Turkey, on July 30. Over the past week, clips of the 10-time Grammy Award winner letting the crowd sing for him have gone viral on social media, with many fans criticizing Timberlake for his lack of vocals during performances. "Apparently, Justin Timberlake put on a concert and simply let the audience sing his songs 👇😂😂😂😂 Imagine paying for this!" one user wrote on X alongside a clip of the former 'NSync member letting the crowd sing the lyrics to "Can't Stop the Feeling!" "I see a lot of artists do this when they get old and tired and can't really do it anymore," a second fan pointed out. "Now that's one way to save the vocal cords — Even I could give a concert like that," a third fan commented. Other fans didn't see an issue with the "SexyBack" artist's performances. "As someone who has seen hundreds of concerts I don't see what the problem is here," a fourth fan penned. "I have experienced many many acts doing this during live shows, it is a way of making your fans part of the whole experience. Usually when it is done it is done for a verse or a chorus. No big deal." A fifth fan wrote, "Yeah, imagine writing songs so good an entire crowd of people know them by heart." Another person jokingly empathized with Timberlake who has been on tour for well over a year, writing, "I also get tired 5 minutes into my job." AsStarpreviously reported, tension has been mounting behind the scenes with Timberlake and his wife,Jessica Biel— with whom he shares sonsSilas, 10, andPhineas, 4. "The energy around them as a couple is really bad right now because they are onsuch different paths," a source recently revealed. "When Justin gets off the road and gets back to family life, there's going to be a reckoning." The source shared that Biel, 43, had been "killing herself with herEmmy campaign" for her role inThe Better Sister— she did not earn a nomination — and that Timberlake didn't "participate" much, partly due to his hectic work schedule but also because he "might have too much baggage to make a difference there." Back in 2024, Timberlake was arrested for a DWI in New York, and rumors circulated that Biel was done with him. Additionally, the source noted that the couple's "closest friends" are worried their union could "all come apart before the end of the year."

Attack on military base in Burkina Faso kills about 50 soldiers, residents say

Attack on military base in Burkina Faso kills about 50 soldiers, residents say

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — An attack by an armed group on a military base in northern Burkina Faso has left about 50 soldiers dead, according to accounts by a community leader and a resident on Tuesday. The Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin group, or JNIM, was suspected of carrying out the attack Monday on the base in Dargo in Boulsa province in the northern region of the landlocked West African nation. The two sources, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they feared repercussions from the military, said about 100 militants participated in the attack, and that the gunmen burned and looted the base after the killings. The military government has yet to publicly acknowledge the attack. JNIM, one of several armed groups conducting attacks across West Africa, has been blamed for hundreds of civilian and military deaths. Burkina Faso is witnessing a surge in attacks by armed groups who are in control of most of the country, especially outside of the capital. The deteriorating security situation has led to political shifts in the country and served as the pretext for back-to-back coups. The military leader, Ibrahim Traore, has been unable to rein in the Islamist groups despite his redrawing of political and military allies.
