Watch Justin Timberlake’s Sing at Memphis Music Hall of Fame, Give Induction

“I am truly honoured to be able to stand on the shoulders of all these legends that I grew up listening to”, he said. Where am I staying?’ And most importantly, ‘How do I get out of this?’

Justin was introduced by chat show host Jimmy Fallon, who called himself “Mrs Justin Timberlake” during his own speech.

Justin also took time to thank his wife Jessica Biel during his acceptance speech.

“When people ask me where I’m from I say, ‘Memphis.’ Not where do you live right now, but where are you from”.

For Grammy and Emmy award-winning crooner Justin Timberlake, home is where the heart is, and perhaps, also the soul.

The Sexyback singer still has not forgotten his roots as he said in his speech: ‘My favorite part about this city is we don’t apologize for who we are, and that’s who this city has taught me to be’. “He’s given us so much fantastic music over the years”.

“He’s one of the biggest stars in the world”, Fallon said of Timberlake.

He sang about crying a river.
