Justin Timberlake has opened up about a deeply personal health battle, revealing that he’s been diagnosed with Lyme disease.

The “Mirrors” singer and pop icon shared the news in a heartfelt message to fans, explaining the impact the condition has had on his daily life and career. “Living with this can be relentlessly debilitating,” Timberlake said. “Some days are manageable, others are extremely tough.”

Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness that can cause symptoms ranging from fatigue and joint pain to serious neurological issues if left untreated. Timberlake admitted that the symptoms began subtly but quickly escalated, affecting both his energy and his ability to perform.

“It took a long time to get a proper diagnosis,” he added. “I want to raise awareness because so many people live with this silently.”

Fans and fellow celebrities have since flooded social media with messages of support for the Grammy-winning artist, praising his transparency and strength. Timberlake, who recently returned to touring, says he’s working closely with doctors and focusing on managing his health while continuing to do what he loves.

“I’m not giving up,” he assured. “But I want people to know what I’m facing — and what many others face too.”
