Justin Timberlake gets emotional expressing gratitude to loyal fans 'and rookies’ at World Tour

Justin Timberlake expressed gratitude towards both his dedicated fans and newcomers who attended his recent "Forget Tomorrow World Tour" stop on Sunday.

He emotionally thanked the audience at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio, during his performance on stage.

“So many of you keep shining [your] light on me, and I want you to know how grateful I am, and I do not take it for granted,” he said.

“And each and everyone of you — even you rookies tonight — you have made my life special,” he added.

Timberlake also told the crowd he’ll remember them, “until, I’m somewhere off this earth — wherever that might be — I want you to know that I will never forget each and everyone of you… I said I wasn’t gonna cry!”

One newcomer, Michael Arkinson, aged 23, is the police officer who stopped Timberlake in Sag Harbor last month on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

According to a source, the officer was so young that he had no idea who the former boyband artist was. “He didn’t recognize him or his name,” the source said.

The incident involving the "SexyBack" singer continues to be a topic of discussion. At the Cleveland stadium, numerous fans were seen wearing T-shirts featuring his mug shot. One shirt bore the slogan: "I'm Bringing Tipsy Back," referencing his popular song.
