Justin Timberlake breaks silence in emotional speech at first concert since DWI arrest

Justin Timberlake nodded to his DWI arrest at his Chicago concert Friday — his first since the Hamptons incident — as he spoke to the crowd about his “tough week.”

The “Selfish” singer, 43, was performing at the United Center as part of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour when he gave an emotional speech, as seen in video circulating online.

“We’ve been together through ups and downs, and lefts and rights. And it’s been a tough week,” Timberlake said. “But you’re here. And I’m here. And nothing can change this moment right now.”

“I know sometimes I’m hard to love, but you keep on loving me and I love you right back,” he continued as the crowd erupted into cheers. “Thank you so much.”

Timberlake was arrested early Tuesday after he blew through a stop sign in Sag Harbor, L.I., failed multiple field sobriety tests and refused a breathalyzer. The incident occurred just blocks away from The American Hotel, where he’d reportedly been partying with friends.

He was arraigned later that morning on a single DWI charge, for which he’ll have to appear in court on July 26.

That day also marks the first of Timberlake’s two consecutive concerts in Kraków, Poland. Though he’s yet to postpone either, it’s unclear how the court appearance will affect those shows.

Timberlake is scheduled to play Chicago again Saturday night before heading to New York for shows at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Earlier this week, an insider told Entertainment Tonight that the “Cry Me a River” crooner was “feeling remorseful, ashamed, and humiliated” in the wake of the arrest.

Timberlake’s attorney, Edward Burke, told the Daily News that the NSYNC alum “will have a lot to say at the appropriate time but [is] currently awaiting full discovery from the district attorney’s office.”
