\n\t\u201cWatching him battle Lyme disease day in and day out, while still getting on that stage night after night, was something I\u2019ll never forget,\u201d Kirkpatrick wrote under a photo of himself, Timberlake and fellow *NSYNC members Lance Bass<\/a> and JC Chasez<\/a>. \u201cThe long days, the travel, the exhaustion \u2014 and yet, he never gave up. No complaints, no excuses \u2014 just heart, grit, and pure determination.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKirkpatrick added about Timberlake, \u201cThat kind of resilience is rare.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a vulnerable\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0post Thursday (July 31), Timberlake shared photos from his time on the road and wrote, \u201cAs I\u2019m reflecting on the tour and festival tour \u2014 I want to tell you a little bit about what\u2019s going on with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tTimberlake went on to announce, \u201cAmong other things, I\u2019ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease \u2014 which I don\u2019t say so you feel bad for me \u2014 but to shed some light on what I\u2019ve been up against behind the scenes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIf you\u2019ve experienced this disease or know someone who has \u2014 then you\u2019re aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,\u201d he continued. \u201cWhen I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness. I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or, keep going and figure it out. I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I\u2019m so glad I kept going.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tContinuing his support, Kirkpatrick wrote: \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more proud to call him my friend. Tour life is already a grind, but doing it while fighting Lyme disease? That\u2019s superhero status.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tKirkpatrick concluded his post with, \u201cHere\u2019s to strength, perseverance, and one hell of a tour. Love you little bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTimberlake isn\u2019t the first musician who\u2019s publicly shared his Lyme diagnosis, with Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber and more stars also previously speaking about their struggles with the illness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
