After his recent drunk-driving arrest in the Hamptons, Justin Timberlake addressed the incident publicly for the first time during a Chicago tour stop. The 43-year-old singer admitted to a tough week but expressed gratitude to his fans for their continued support. Timberlake had reportedly apologized to his crew behind the scenes before addressing the audience. The Grammy winner was charged with driving while intoxicated, running a stop sign, and failure to maintain his lane. Despite claiming to have only had one drink, he refused a Breathalyzer test multiple times and was taken into custody. Timberlake's wife, Jessica Biel, expressed shock and disappointment at the news. If convicted, the star faces possible jail time, fines, and a license suspension. Despite this setback, Timberlake continues his tour with upcoming dates at Madison Square Garden.
