'This is going to ruin the tour': New details emerge of Justin Timberlake drink-driving arrest

After being arrested, Justin Timberlake is reported to have said under his breath: "This is going to ruin the tour."

Page Six, the New York Post's celebrity and entertainment site, cites a source who told them the officer who pulled Timberlake over "was so young that he didn't even know" who he was. Timberlake, who rose to fame with boyband NSYNC before finding huge success as a solo artist with hits including Like I Love You, Cry Me A River, SexyBack and Mirrors, is scheduled to appear in Chicago for two dates this week before further shows across the US, Canada and Europe between June and December. According to court documents filed about the star's arrest in Sag Harbor, a coastal village in the Hamptons, there was "a strong odour of an alcoholic beverage… emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot and he performed poorly on all standardised field sobriety tests".
