Pop icon Justin Timberlake has revealed he is battling Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness that is rapidly increasing across the United States.
The singer made the announcement in July 2025, citing persistent fatigue and nerve pain that impacted his ability to continue touring. The disclosure comes amid a rise in Lyme disease cases this summer, particularly in the Northeast and Midwestern regions, prompting renewed concerns about how the illness is diagnosed, treated, and understood.
