The 43-year-old singer–songwriter still plans to put on shows in Chicago scheduled for later this week at the United Center, sources with direct knowledge told TMZ.
Timberlake's tour site says he will be playing on Friday and Saturday nights, and the sources say he intends to perform both shows.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Timberlake requesting comment.
Fans and attendees are almost certainly curious to hear from the hitmaker about his arrest for driving while intoxicated, but there's no word yet on if he plans to address the controversy.

However, ticket holders can reportedly expect to see essentially the same stage show that he has previously given.
Timberlake has been on tour since April of this year, and his show has been lauded for its high production values, including a hovering platform above the stage that may have been inspired by one of Kanye West's earlier tours.
Timberlake's stag design is even more opulent, as the platform moves around arenas and tilts down, leaving him hanging over the edge, though he's in no danger of falling thanks to a safety harness.
The moving platform even doubles as a massive vertical video screen when its not flying above the audience.
Anyone hoping to see the display at his Chicago shows will have to be prepared to dish out major cash, as it will be difficult to find any cheap tickets.
According to the ticket resale site Gametime, the cheapest tickets for the first Chicago show are going for $81, which includes fees and taxes.
That's in line with major arena and stadium tour prices, but anyone hoping to score prime seats will likely have major sticker shock.
According to the reseller, the top tickets are selling for a whopping$5,897 per ticket.
TMZ added that its sources couldn't confirm if the Cry Me A River singer was still planning on doing his following New York City shows.
He is scheduled to perform at the iconic Madison Square Garden on June 25 and 26, ahead of more shows throughout the Northeast.
