Justin Timberlake honors John Blackwell Jr. in wake of drummer’s death
Justin Timberlake paid tribute to his former collaborator, John Blackwell Jr., who died at the age of 43 on Tuesday.
“You are a kind, gentle soul and one special talent”, the “Suit & Tie” singer tweeted Wednesday. “You will be missed by myself and so many. God bless you, bro”.
Timberlake tapped Blackwell, having made a name for himself drumming in Prince’s band, for the FutureSex/LoveSound tour in 2006. Other industry figures, like Blink-182’s Travis Barker and bassist Nik West, also reacted to the percussionist’s passing.
