Justin Timberlake has returned to the stage for the first time in six months.

The 44-year-old entertainer paid tribute to his pal Pharrell Williams by performing at the Black Music Collective’s pre-Grammys event on Thursday night (January 29) in Los Angeles.

Justin performed for the crowd during the event, singing his Pharrell collabs, including “Senorita,” “Rock Your Body,” and “Like I Love You.”

Pharrell said to Justin at the event, “You showed your ass tonight. You reminded this community of how you love us so much and what we mean to you.”

Justin has been keeping a low profile ever since July 2025, when he publicly shared his lyme disease diagnosis with the world. The announcement came one day after he ended his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
