Justin Timberlake abruptly postponed his concert in Newark, New Jersey, Tuesday night, just over an hour before the show was scheduled to begin.

In a statement shared on the performer's Instagram page, Timberlake attributed the last-minute decision to an "injury that is preventing me from performing." He did not share any further details regarding the injury, including when or how he sustained it.
