Los Angeles [US], August 24 (ANI): Singer Justin Timberlake made a surprise appearance at Don Toliver's concert in Miami on August 22, taking the stage for the first time in nearly seven months to perform his 2002 hit "Rock Your Body," according to E! News.
Timberlake also joined Toliver for a performance of "Body", a track from the rapper's latest album 'Octane'. The appearance marked Timberlake's first stage performance since the 2026 Recording Academy Honours in January, where he performed in honour of his longtime friend and collaborator Pharrell Williams.
According to E! News, Timberlake revealed in an Instagram post that he initially attended Toliver's Octane World Tour show from the VIP section before being invited on stage. Sharing a compilation video, he captioned it, "I just wanted to watch the show from the VIP."
In the footage, Timberlake was seen enjoying the concert from the crowd before Toliver began performing "Rock Your Body", which he samples in his 2026 track "Body". Timberlake then appeared on stage, prompting loud cheers from the audience.
Timberlake, 45, performed the song with help from the crowd while Toliver danced alongside him. He later stayed on stage to assist Toliver during "Body".
Timberlake's return comes nearly seven months after his last performance and follows his disclosure in July 2025 that he had been diagnosed with Lyme disease after completing his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, according to E! News.
"Among other things, I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which I don't say so you feel bad for me," he shared on Instagram at the time. "But to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes."
He also spoke about experiencing "a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness" during the tour.
Despite the health challenges, Timberlake continued performing until the end of the tour, saying, "I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going," according to E! News. (ANI)
