Billy Joel briefly commented on Justin Timberlake’s arrest in an interview with Pix 11. The classic rocker, 75 years old, was asked by journalists about his opinion on Justin’s arrest for driving under the influence after he was seen at The American Hotel in Sag Harbor, New York. Billy gave a very brief answer when asked about Justin’s recent legal troubles.
Journalists gathered outside the restaurant where Justin was reportedly before his arrest on June 17. The coincidence was that the singer of «New York State of Mind» stopped by to eat, and he was asked about his opinion on Justin’s situation. Billy responded with some wisdom for most situations. «Judge not, lest ye be judged», - he told Pix 11.
Despite the call not to judge, Billy admitted that he had little to add after having lunch at the hotel. «I really don’t know much. So I have no comments», - he later said.
Justin was arrested by police for driving under the influence on Monday when he failed to stop at a stop sign. According to reports, he refused to take a breathalyzer test, but police stated that he showed signs of impairment. He was released on Long Island on Tuesday. According to the criminal complaint, after the arrest, the former NSYNC member smelled of alcohol and performed poorly on sobriety tests. Justin reportedly told the police, «I had one martini and was driving home to meet friends».
Justin is scheduled to appear in court virtually next month. The singer of «Sexy Back» released a statement after his arrest. «I will have much to say at the appropriate time, but for now, I await full disclosure from the prosecution», - he said. «I look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these charges».
Justin is currently in the middle of his world tour «Forget Tomorrow». He is set to perform in Chicago on Friday, June 21, his first performance after the arrest
