Justin Timberlake continued to remind fans that he is a huge Garth Brooks supporter when he played the country star's 1990 hit "Friends in Low Places." Apparently, all of Timberlake's fans know the tune as they sang it in unison at the singer's show last week in Oklahoma City. Prior to his performance, Timberlake attended the Brooks concert in St. Louis and had a wonderful time. He even took a picture with his hero.
As Taste of Country noted, Timberlake told the crowd about going to the Brooks show before launching into the country hit. The former 'N SYNC leader's voice brings a smooth, soul vibe to the song, but Timberlake lets the frenzied audience take over for the chorus. Check it out in the fan-shot footage below.
J. Tim — just go with it — and and his wife, actress Jessica Biel, are reportedly expecting their first child. A friend told Us Weekly in November that there was a little Timberlake on the way, but representatives have not confirmed the rumors.
Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience was one of the best-selling albums last year, beating out Eminem and Luke Bryan.
The singer spoke with Rolling Stone last year about his monster album and how his other profession helped with its creation.
"In some ways, it's made me take a slightly different approach to storytelling in some of my songs," he said. "I'm gonna put a lot of music out over the course of the year and some songs have become really concept-driven; some songs have become a simple idea that turns into something big. And songs, you write them different every time — you get an idea for a song and you go, "Okay, I want to turn this idea into something."
