Justin Timberlake News 2014: The first of Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience World Tour" concerts at Madison Square Garden has been cancelled.

According to Billboard Biz, the singer posted on his Twitter feed Wednesday that the postponement is due to (unspecified) health reasons. The show originally scheduled for Wednesday (Feb. 19) has been rescheduled for Friday (Feb. 21) while Thursday's concert schedule went on as planned. Timberlake said via Twitter "It kills me to have to do this. I hope to see you all on Friday."

Madison Square Gadens posted in their website that ticketholders cam get a refund if they want starting last Thursday morning.

Fox News reported that fans are upset, one of the fans, Haydee Lopez, 24 years old said that news of the show's postponement came too late. As quoted from Fox411, she said "We were literally stopped by a security guard at the door. We were handed like a sheet of paper to explain what would happen and why. It was definitely really disappointing to find out it was cancelled at the last minute."

But for those who have watched the Thursday show, it seems to be a very positive experience. New York Village Voice expresses their awesome experience. As quoted, "With ease and charm, Timberlake makes the lengthy wait for new material and live performances seem like it was more than worth it all along. In front of a large, white screen patterned with hexagonal shapes, the singer appeared behind his Tennessee Kids -- the providers of live instrumentation that have been accompanying many of Justin's televised performances and were a prominent fixture in the show. On stage, JT became more than just a solo artist; though the star can't help but shine ever so brightly, he allowed himself to blend with the dancers, singers and musicians as if this were a band he had been in for years. Shrouded in dim lighting as the horn section blasted behind what looked like pulpits at the altar of the Church of JT, Timberlake crooned his way through the sweetly hazy "Pusher Love Girl," from Part I of last year's double feature. As the band played, the star showcased his crystalline falsetto and busted out his famous moonwalk-pop-and-lock he has made a fixture in his shows since the beginning of his post-all-boy synchronized choreography days."

The 20/20 Experience World Tour is the fifth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake.
