Pop sensation Justin Timberlake paused mid-performance at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday to pay tribute to acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese.

During his set, Timberlake took a moment to acknowledge Scorsese's presence in the audience, stating, "I hope this doesn’t embarrass him too much, but I’m sorry, man, I gotta do this. 

“The GOAT came to see me, the one and only Martin Scorsese. So many family and friends but … I see some new faces, too."

Scorsese, known for his iconic films such as "Goodfellas" and "The Irishman," graciously received the recognition with a smile, waving to the audience and adjusting his glasses amidst cheers.

Among the attendees was Timberlake's wife, Jessica Biel, adding to the star-studded atmosphere of the evening.

The performance marks the culmination of a notable week for Timberlake, who recently faced legal issues after being arrested for suspected driving under the influence.

Timberlake is scheduled for one final show at Madison Square Garden tonight, promising fans another memorable night of music and entertainment.
