Justin said, “Among other things, I’ve been battling some health issues and was diagnosed with Lyme disease — which I don’t say so you feel bad for me — but to shed light on what I’ve been up against behind the scenes.”
Justin said he was “shocked for sure” when he received the diagnosis — and recalled nearly canceling his tour because of the “massive amount of nerve pain,” “crazy fatigue,” and sickness he was experiencing. “I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling,” he shared, adding, “I’m so glad I kept going.”
Justin said, “Not only did I prove my mental tenacity to myself but I now have so many special moments with all of you that I will never forget.”

He went on to thank those who supported his Forget Tomorrow Tour and his JT Live ’25 concerts, as well as his “beautiful” crew for their time working together. “There really is no way to put into words the feeling of being on a stage and getting to share the experience of live music with all of you,” he wrote. “It’s a vibration of frequency that is unmatched. Sacred to me.” Justin also said, “I honestly don’t know what my future is onstage but I’ll always cherish this run! And all of them before. It’s been the stuff of legend for me.”
He concluded the statement with a final message for his wife, Jessica Biel, and their sons, Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4, writing, “Nothing is more powerful than your unconditional love. You are my heart and my home. I’m on my way… With love, JT.”
The statement comes after Justin recently faced criticism for his low-energy performances at a variety of concerts and festivals. As online videos showed, he hardly sang for the crowd and instead, let fans perform for him.
Before that, Justin had also canceled several concerts on his Forget Tomorrow tour, including the final show in February, citing health reasons.
