Singer and actor Justin Timberlake appeared on “The Graham Norton Show” where he recalled performing at a charity concert in 2003 where the crowd threw bottles of urine at him on stage! Timberlake explained that he was singing with The Rolling Stones at an event to raise money for SARS recovery in Toronto, Canada when it all happened. He said he even had a bad feeling about the event prior to going on stage, but was committed to the performance so he went out and did what he came to do.
“I remember saying to the band before we went on stage, ‘I don’t think this is going to go well,’” he told the host. “But little did I know, I had no idea how bad it was going to go.”
Timberlake went on to say,
“We came on stage and all of a sudden from the first two rows of probably, I think this festival housed half a million people, so that was crazy,” he explained. “But all of a sudden, bottles of urine were then thrown on the stage… It wasn’t always good times for me, you guys.” He joked: “I still have… I still have a lot of trauma from this incident.”
While it wasn’t a great feeling for him, Timberlake said staff gave him the opportunity to get off stage after the first song. However, he refused. “I was like, ‘No man, I’m staying out here, we’re doing this!’”
Timberlake continued his story:
“At the first song, I was at the mic and moving around and singing at the same time. I was kind of impressed with myself,” he said. “Then the second song was ‘Senorita … I play a Rhodes electric piano on that song. So then, all of a sudden I’m thinking, ‘Oh no, I’m immobile!’”
