Justin Timberlake Performs for the First Time Since Revealing Lyme Diagnosis to Honor Pharrell

The pop star sang several of his collaborations with the producer.

Justin Timberlake spent more than a year on a tour that ended in 2024, which would already be grueling if he hadn’t been battling Lyme disease throughout the trek — but on Thursday (Jan. 29), he proved that he’d do anything for Pharrell Williams by taking the stage once again at the Recording Academy Honors Black Music Collective event in Los Angeles.

To pay tribute to the generation-defining producer, the *NSYNC alum brought the energy while singing and dancing through hits such as “Senorita,” “Rock Your Body” “Like I Love You,” all of which Timberlake worked on with Williams. He also sang some of his frequent collaborator’s solo hits.
