Justin Timberlake can barely say something, let alone sing. The “Filthy” singer, 37, has postponed Wednesday night’s Man of the Woods tour date at Madison Square Garden, explaining on social media that his “vocal chords are severely bruised,” and he cannot perform “on doctor’s orders.” “I’m gonna make this up to you,” Timberlake wrote on Instagram. “…Again I’m so sorry to do this, but excited to see you soon. Love, J.” The new show is rescheduled to take place on Timberlake’s birthday, January 31. Timberlake announced the postponement just two hours after MSG tweeted about the singer’s second gig at the venue. The star performed at MSG Monday evening and Wednesday’s show would have been his second and final Man of the Woods stop in the Big Apple. He is scheduled to perform in Buffalo this weekend.

In August, Biel opened up about how she and Timberlake make their relationship work with their busy careers. "I just really feel like you have to work hard [at it]," she said during an appearance on Today. That doesn’t change if you work at home or in an office or you’re on a tour, it doesn’t change, the work doesn’t change. The being devoted to the relationship is our biggest priority.” For more on the gorgeous twosome, watch below.
