‘Retire’: Justin Timberlake goes viral over ‘cringe’ dance moves on tour

A wildly cringe video of Justin Timberlake performing on his latest tour is being torn to shreds by fans on social media.

Justin Timberlake has been urged to “retire” by fans after a video of him dancing on tour went viral for all the wrong reasons.

Timberlake is currently embarking on the European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.

A video shared by a fan who attended one of the singer’s latest shows has gone viral after fans ridiculed Timberlake’s “cringe” and “awkward” dance moves.

The clip shows Timberlake dancing around a microphone stand attached to the floor, at one point almost appearing to slip as he awkwardly throws his hands into the air.

“I mean I love JT just as much as the next boy band obsessed girlypop but LOL this is comical,” wrote the fan that shared the viral video on TikTok.

Other fans rushed to poke fun at the clip, with some even urging the star to lay down his dancing shoes and retire.

“Some artists need to know when to retire,” remarked one.

“I didn’t recognise him so I thought it was a contestant performing for one of those talent shows,” commented a second fan.

A third joked: “And the crowd goes … home!” while another added: “He looks like a kid that just told his mum to watch his moves.”

Meanwhile, it comes after Timberlake sparked backlash earlier this year when he cancelled the final show of the US leg of his tour with just 12 minutes until showtime.

You guys. I’m heartbroken. I have to cancel the show tonight,” Justin revealed on Instagram. “I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it’s gotten the best of me. It kills me to disappoint you and my team who have worked so hard to make this show happen. I want to reassure you, you’ll be getting refunds for your tickets. I love you all.”

Fans rushed to lash out at the star for giving barely any notice, with one commenting: “Cancelling because of being sick is 100% understandable. Cancelling 10 minutes before the doors were to open is unacceptable.”

“Bought almost 40 bucks in drinks tonight, was sitting in our seats, we thought the announcement was a joke. Paid 20 dollars in parking and now 2 vacation days wasted on this MF,” remarked another angry fan at the time.
