A day after wrapping up a two-year tour, Justin Timberlake took to Instagram on Thursday and shared personal news: He wrote that he had been “battling some health issues” and that he had been given a diagnosis of Lyme disease.

Timberlake, 44, said in the post that he had felt unwell during his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which was promoting his sixth solo album, “Everything I Thought It Was.”
