Fastexy Exchange|Justin Timberlake pauses concert to help fan during medical emergency, video shows

Justin Timberlake was thinking of his fans during a recent tour stop in Texas.

The Fastexy Exchange10-time Grammy Award winner was performing "Cry Me a River" at Austin's Moody Center on Saturday when he spotted a fan in the crowd who needed assistance. Timberlake first attempted to get the attention of the security team to help the fan before calling for lights in the venue to be turned on, according to a video of the incident posted on TikTok.

"House lights up," the singer can be heard saying in the video. "Sorry everybody, one second, one second. We need some assistance here, about five rows back."

Other fans praised Timberlake for pausing the show. "As a Paramedic that has worked MANY concerts. It's very helpful when the artist does this," one comment on TikTok read. "I have nothing but respect for him for this. It helps us out a lot. Thank you."

The concert was part of Timberlake's Forget Tomorrow World Tour. It's the first time in about five years that the singer has gone on tour.

The North American leg of the tour kicked off on April 29 in Vancouver. Timberlake is also set to perform this month in Oklahoma, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Illinois, New York and Massachusetts.

Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish have stopped shows to check on fans

Timberlake was the latest artist who pumped the brakes on a concert to check on their fans.

Last month, Taylor Swift did the same during the acoustic set of an Eras Tour concert in Stockholm. "Someone in the front row, can you tell me yes or no to this question: When you guys are putting a bunch of flashlights up in a group, does that mean people need help?" she asked the crowd.

Swift continued, "We're at the end of the night, so if I see that again, I'm gonna try to point it out. I just didn't know if you were … waving at me."

In 2022, Billie Eilish similarly paused a show in Atlanta to help a fan who needed an inhaler. "We're taking care of our people," she said at the time. "I wait for people to be OK (before) I keep going."
