Justin Timberlake Chokes Back Tears, Calls Jessica Biel His ‘Rock’

Justin Timberlake was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame over the weekend and it was emotional night for the singer.

“This is the f**king coolest thing that has ever happened to me,” the singer said from the stage at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts in Memphis, after being introduced by friend Jimmy Fallon.

“I wanna thank all the great artists in this hall,” he continued, as he began to choke back the tears. “I’m truly honored, to merely stand on the shoulders of all these legends I grew up listening to, and I grew up admiring, to say that I stand alongside them now.”

Justin also took time to acknowledge wife Jessica Biel saying she was “beautiful, loving and incredibly understanding of her husband’s shortcomings.”

“Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write,” he said of the actress, calling her his “rock.”
