43-year-old pop star Justin Timberlake addressed his recent drunk driving arrest during a performance in Chicago, his first since the incident. He admitted it had been a tough week but expressed gratitude for his fans' support. Timberlake was pulled over by Sag Harbor police in the Hamptons and was charged with driving while intoxicated, failing to stay in the right lane, and stop at a stop sign. He refused a breath test and was held overnight before being arraigned. Timberlake's lawyer stated he plans to vigorously defend him against the allegations. The artist is scheduled to continue his tour but will appear virtually for his court hearing on July 26. Despite the legal troubles, Timberlake remains focused on his music and connecting with his fans on stage.
