Justin Timberlake, the incredibly famous American singer, known for being part of the 2000’s boy band *NSYNC, his solo career and dating Britney Spears in the early 2000s, was arrested in Long Island, in New York, for a DWI charge (Driving While Intoxicated), and on an article by an American newsletter, he seems to be getting worried about his career and how this scandal could affect his future projects, specially his upcoming world tour.
Around 0:15am of the Tuesday 18th, Justin Timberlake was pulled over for driving through a stop sign and failing to stay on the right side of the road on a very affluent area, he was asked to take a breathalyzer test to find out traces of any substance on his body, but he initially refused, according to the police report. He then agreed to take the test and confessed to have had “just one martini”, but the police officers dictated that he was not in condition to be driving.
The report also mentioned a small conversation Timberlake had with one of the officers working on his case, where he allegedly said, “this [scandal] is gonna ruin the tour.” The officer, who reportedly didn’t seem to know who Justin Timberlake was, asked in return, “what tour?” and Justin replied, “the world tour.”

His worry means he surely realizes the consequences his actions could have, as of the tour, there is no confirmation about whether it will be cancelled or not, but this pressure surely adds up to the pressure from the underwhelming reception his recently released album had. It’s not a good time to be Justin Timberlake, for sure.
What do you think? Should they cancel his tour?
