Justin Timberlake jokes on stage about driving after DWI arrest

Justin Timberlake jokingly mentioned his arrest for allegedly driving while drunk at his tour stop in Boston.

On Saturday (June 29), the 43-year-old singer and actor tweeted a message about the incident during his concert at Boston's TD Garden in the middle of his Forget Tomorrow world tour.

“So, uh, is there anyone here tonight who drives?” Timberlake asked the cheering crowd in a fan-captured clip posted to Tik Tok. “No, I'm kidding,” he added quickly.

The comment drew a mixture of gasps and laughter from the crowd. “SexyBack” followed the wisecrack by asking the audience who was attending for the first time and who had seen him before, according to tour-boston-arrest/” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>TMZ.

“I had a martini and followed my friends home,” Arkinson also said in the 10-time Grammy winner's report.

“It's been a tough week,” the singer told concertgoers. “I know it's hard to love sometimes, but you keep loving me right back.” He added, “We've been together through the ups and the downs, the lefts and the right… but you're here and I'm here, and nothing can change right now right now.”

JT's attorney, Edward Burke Jr., said he would “vigorously” defend the star against the charges. “He will have a lot to say at the right time,” Burke said in a statement.
