Justin Timberlake isn't selfish when it comes to the well-being of his fans!
On Saturday, the 43-year-old singer was performing at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, when he noticed a fan in need.
In a video shared on TikTok, Timberlake is at the climax of his hit song, "Cry Me A River," when he moves to the front of the stage and begins pointing to the audience. Timberlake then looks to the side and motions for someone to go where he is pointing -- making sure to stay engaged with the venue official until someone goes to assist.

"House lights up, house lights up, thank you," he says. "Sorry everybody, one second. We need some assistance right here, about five rows back."
Timberlake gets a signal from the audience member noting that they are "OK."
"We're OK," he tells the crowd before he goes back into his set.
The GRAMMY-winning singer is currently on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which kicked off in April.
Prior to the concert, the "Drown" singer took to Instagram to show his fans how he and his backing band and dancers (known as the Tennessee Kids) got to the venue.
"Casual ride to work. Goonies never say die! #TFTWTOUR," Timberlake captioned the video of him and the Tennessee Kids riding bikes to the venue in Austin, Texas.
Timberlake wasn't the only celebrity monitoring fans. On Sunday, Taylor Swift paused her Eras Tour in Lyon, France, to make sure that a fan was doing well. During the Evermore portion of her show, Swift articulated in both French and English to the venue security that an audience member needed help.
Venue security were able to assist the concertgoer and the show went on as planned.
