Justin Timberlake Caught Raging At Crew During UK Show As Fans Slam His 'Highly Unprofessional' Behavior

Justin Timberlake's frustration boiled over during a recent show after sound problems disrupted his set.

In a video that has since gone viral, the singer could be seen raging at his crew after realizing that the sound issues were going to take some time to fix.

Fans on social media have since slammed Justin Timberlake's outburst as "unprofessional," although some have shown their support for the "Cry Me a River" singer.

Earlier this month, Justin Timberlake made a stop in the UK at the Lytham Festival as part of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.

However, what started as a smooth performance was abruptly cut short midway due to a sound issue.

Now, a fan video shared on TikTok has revealed that the pop star didn't take the news lightly.

In the clip, which has since gone viral, Timberlake can be seen being approached by a crew member about the technical problem.

The singer initially spoke calmly with the individual, who at one point checked his watch, seemingly to inform Timberlake how long it might take to resolve the issue.

Soon after, a second crew member approached Timberlake, and this time the singer raged at them angrily for several seconds before walking away and returning to his performance.

Reacting to the video of Timberlake screaming at his crew member, one TikTok user slammed the singer as "highly unprofessional."

"Losing it with your support crew is considered highly unprofessional in the world of stage performance," the user wrote in the comment section of the clip.

"Respect your crew! Just be patient," a second TikTok user blasted Timberlake, while a third sarcastically commented, "He was fuming cause his backing track cut, and he was gonna have to actually sing?"

Another netizen noted, "Thinks he is cool treating people like that. No, bro, treat them better, don't do that in front of people."

Amid the criticisms, some fans have rallied around Timberlake, saying that he had every right to be outraged about the sound issues.

"He's a professional. This is his craft. If a camera died on me while I was forcing mid shot - I'd be 10x as angry," one wrote.

"He hardly looks like he's losing it. Just annoyed. I would be, too," a second individual remarked.

One more person said, "He's in the middle of a show and there are technical problems, of course, he's going to be upset. He's frustrated, it happens."

The incident comes months after Timberlake canceled the final concert of his U.S. tour barely 15 minutes before he was set to take the stage.

The singer was meant to perform at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, but claimed he had come down with the flu and had been unable to shake it off ahead of the show.

"You guys. I'm heartbroken," Timberlake apologized to fans in a post on Instagram, per Page Six. "I have to cancel the show tonight. I went into soundcheck battling the flu, and now it's gotten the best of me."

"It kills me to disappoint you and my team who worked so hard to make this show happen," he added.

Despite the apology and promised refunds, the singer was criticized by irate fans over the sudden cancellation, with many slamming the decision as "unacceptable."

Following the disrupted show in the UK, Timberlake has made stops in Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Germany as he continues the European leg of his tour.

His wife, Jessica Biel, has shown her support as he remains on the road and was spotted with him in the dressing room ahead of his performance at the BottleRock music festival in Napa Valley earlier this month.

Timberlake later shared a video with fans where he wore bespoke apparel featuring his wife's face, while Biel wore a shirt with his face on it, which also referenced his "Justified" album.

Interestingly, Biel has continued to stand by Timberlake despite a number of recent controversies that have rocked their marriage, including a drunk driving incident in June 2024.

The two have been married since 2012 and share two sons, Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4.
