Justin Timberlake brought his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to the Moody Center in Austin, Texas on Saturday night, where he abruptly stopped the show due to a fan in need.

The 43-year-old singer was performing his 2002 solo hit Cry Me A River on Saturday night, but at the end of the song he noticed a fan in need, which comes just after Taylor Swift stopped her Paris show to help a fan as well.

The singer was motioning to security guards towards the end of the song, but when it ended he paused the show and asked for the house lights to be turned up.

‘Sorry everybody, one second, one second. We need some assistance right here about five rows back,’ Timberlake said from the stage, via video from TikTok’s Lion Latch.

He waited for a few moments and said, ‘Oh are you OK?’ before giving a thumbs up and saying, ‘Oh, no problem.’

The tour wraps up on December 20 in Kansas City, just before the holiday season kicks off.

The tour is in support of his sixth solo album Everything I Thought It Was, which was released in March.

It was his first solo album in six years, following his 2018 album Man of the Woods.

Two Door Cinema Club delivered an electrifying performance at Austin’s Stubb’s Amphitheater, captivating the audience with their infectious energy and dynamic indie rock sound.

Coming from Northern Ireland, Two Door Cinema Club brought the fans of Austin an amazing performance. The band has been making music together since the late 2000s. A few of their songs over the past decade have received commercial success due to being featured in various popular television shows such as The Vampire Diaries, Grey’s Anatomy, and Teen Wolf. Two Door Cinema Club is comprised of three members: Alex Trimble (vocals), Sam Halliday (guitar), and Kevin Baird (bass). Their last album Keep On Smiling was released in 2022, but since then they have released two new singles, “Sure Enough” (2023)  and “Happy Customers” (2024). Their North American tour kicked off in February and they have already hit over twenty different cities. This leg of Two Door Cinema Club’s tour will end in Austin, but they will continue well into the Fall of 2024 for part two.

Opening for Two Door Cinema Club is the indie-rock band Day Wave. The Oakland, California-based band’s music is recorded solo by musician Jackson Phillips. Various musicians support him during live shows. He released their debut EP, Headcase, in 2015. And last year, he released two new singles “As You Are” and “Breakdown.” Day Wave’s dreamy set was truly beautiful as the Texas sun slowly set on the horizon. His emotionally charged performance and laid-back stage presence captivated the crowd. He played his originals such as “Something Here” and “Drag.” He closed his set by performing a cover of Interpol’s “PDA” which the crowd loved.

Despite the drizzly, dreary weather, Two Door Cinema Club took to the stage at about 8:15 pm. They completely rocked the audience with their first song of the night, “This Is The Life” from their 2010 album Tourist History. They played many more older songs as well, like “Handshake” from Beacon and “Are We Ready? (Wreck).” Mid-set, Trimble took a moment to thank everyone for coming out. He also informed the audience that the drummer, Cameron, who was playing was filling in for their regular touring drummer. He joked that the last thing Cameron wanted to do before the tour ended was perform a drum solo. Shyly, Cameron played a quick beat and seemingly laughed off the request.

The rain eventually came to a halt and left the air a lot more tolerable, considering Austin’s typically unbearable heat. Fans could finally dance without worrying about having a heat stroke, which was terrific because as Two Door Cinema Club came to the end of their setlist the beats of their songs began to pick up, “Undercover Martyn” being one of them. They closed their set with “What You Know.” As they played the first few chords, the crowd went crazy. The immensely diverse crowd really was something to see. All walks of life were present in the audience. This show served as a great reminder of the splendor of unity.

In what he described as an “emergency broadcast” on Saturday, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones claimed that his far-right news company, Infowars’, studios in Austin, Texas, might be shut down by federal authorities soon.

“This is going to be Infowars’ last show, because I learned yesterday that they were going to padlock the door and kick us out last night,” Jones said while on Infowars on Saturday.

On the same day, Friday, May 31, the news outlet published an article saying it might be shut down in 48 hours.

Newsweek contacted Infowars by email on Sunday morning for comment and any evidence of the alleged attempt to shut down the company’s studios .

Jones said that he spotted “guards looking at me weird” at the entrance of the Infowars building and believed that his company was going to be shut down.

“I went with my instinct[…]and discovered this plan to shut us down,” he said, after mentioning he questioned the guards about what was happening on Friday night.

“I discovered this and a bunch of other stuff that I haven’t released yet,” he added. He claimed he spent the night at the studios to prevent them from being shut down, and threatened to call local police.

The Infowars host said he had all the evidence to prove the alleged attempt to shut down his studios, but did not seem so sure that it would actually be happening himself. “There’s a 50 percent chance this is happening right now,” Jones said in a post published on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday.

“They want us shut down because in bankruptcy and what was happening we have a path with the judge to continue on for years, and the judge has signaled that. So, different groups involved in the bankruptcy that will be exposed soon have literally made a move to shut this place down and end my show,” he added.

Jones claimed that “the deep state” was “making a move to shut down Infowars” after allegedly going after Donald Trump, who on Thursday was found guilty by a New York jury on 34 counts of falsifying business records over a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

While on air on Saturday, the conspiracy theorist broke into tears. “We’re going to beat these people. I’m not trying to be dramatic, but it’s been a hard fight,” Jones said.

“I’ve been targeted for abuse. I was duped by someone. Federal files in secret have claimed that I’m committing crimes. This was untrue, of course[…]This may be my final performance.”

Jones received the immediate support of MAGA Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who posted a photo with Jones on X writing: “I stand with Alex Jones.”

Greene is known to have shared several wild conspiracy theories in previous years, including claiming that Parkland survivor and activist David Hogg was a “paid actor” in a stage mass shooting.

Newsweek contacted Greene’s spokesperson for comment by email on Sunday morning.

Jones is currently facing huge legal expenses after being ordered in 2022 to pay nearly $1.5 billion for calling the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting in Connecticut a hoax.

Later in the same year, the Infowars host filed for personal bankruptcy, a move that is often used to stave off legal judgments. But in October 2023, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston, Texas, ruled that Jones is not protected by the bankruptcy and still needs to pay the nearly $1.5 billion in damages to families affected by the Sandy Hook shooting.

Since then, he has been scrambling to handle the payments. In December, Jones proposed a settlement that would pay the families at least $5.5 million every year over 10 years, but the plaintiffs said the offer fell “woefully short.”

Last week, he obtained approval for the $2.8-million sale of his Texas ranch. The money will be put into an escrow account to pay for his legal expenses.
