The artist Justin Timberlake has been afflicted with the disease borrelia, reports The Guardian. On social media, the star writes about the great suffering that the disease entails.

Living with the disease means an "unrelenting weakening, both mentally and physically", writes Timberlake, who also describes that it was a difficult message to receive: "It was a shocking message", he writes in the Instagram post.

Justin Timberlake has received bad criticism for his performances during the tour, among other things from fans on social media. He has also postponed and cancelled several concerts.

The disease will not, however, prevent Timberlake from touring in the future, writes The Guardian.

Borrelia is a tick-borne disease that in rare cases can lead to inflamed joints, pain and affected nervous system.
