Justin Timberlake took a moment during his Jan. 18 concert at the Honda Center in Anaheim to address the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. The singer expressed his concern for the city, roughly 30 miles away from the blaze, and praised the efforts of first responders and the community.
“Keep your thoughts and prayers with L.A.,” Timberlake told the Anaheim crowd, acknowledging the devastating impact of the fires on residents and the city. He also recognized the strength of the community, noting how people from all walks of life had come together to support one another.
The “Cry Me a River” singer shared that many of those involved in his tour, including crew members, had personal connections to those affected by the fires. Timberlake’s heartfelt message resonated with fans, urging them to donate and continue offering support to those in need.
This pause came as the wildfires, which started on Jan. 7, became the most destructive firestorm in Los Angeles history. Despite the tragedy, Timberlake took the opportunity to highlight the resilience of those affected and the unity in the face of crisis.
Timberlake’s “Forget Tomorrow” World Tour continues, with his next stop set for Palm Desert on Jan. 20.
