Forget the show tonight.

Justin Timberlake canceled his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” show on October 8 at the Prudential Center in Newark an hour before the start of the show due to a mysterious injury.

“I’m so sorry to postpone tonight’s show,” Timberlake said in an Instagram post. “I have an injury that prevents me from performing as well as I can. I’m so disappointed not to see you all – but I’m working on rescheduling as soon as possible.”

Timberlake played at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on October 7th. The next scheduled show is Friday, October 11th at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

“I promise to make it up to you and give you the show you deserve,” Timberlake said with a hurt heart emoji. “Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your support.”

There were still seats available for the show in the hours before Tuesday's performance. A request from his representatives for further details about the injury was not returned before the start of the show.

Also last month, Timberlake pleaded guilty to driving while impaired in the Hamptons-Sag Harbor-New York in June. It was a lesser offense than the original charge of driving under the influence.
