Martin Scorsese had a blast at Justin Timberlake’s concert at Madison Square Garden

Last Tuesday, Justin Timberlake had the pleasure of welcoming a special guest during a concert given at Madison Square Garden as part of his world tour. Yes, Martin Scorsese was in the audience.

In a brief taken by a fan and then relayed by the singer in Instagram Story, we can see the venerable filmmaker peaceful, but captivated, standing static in the middle of a crowd of female fans who, for the most part, were a fraction of his age. A presence obviously noticed by the singer of SexyBackwho did not fail to pay tribute to the director.

A little comfort

“The best of the best came to see me. The one and only Martin Scorsese”, Justin Timberlake between songs, before getting emotional: “So many of my family and friends are here. And as we go on this tour, I look around and see faces that I’ve seen so many times before.”

A successful evening, therefore, and one that consoled the performer of Cry Me a River who is still grappling with the fallout from last week’s arrest for drunk driving. Justin Timberlake spent a night in police custody, and the broadcast of his mug shot has since been a bad thing. It’s not like he can’t afford a taxi.
