A music insider tells us that the pop star will “continue promotion for his album [‘Everything I Thought It Was’] as planned, which, of course, includes his tour dates.”

Timberlake, 43, is scheduled to resume the global trek Friday at the United Center in Chicago, where he will also perform Saturday.

The “Cry Me a River” singer will then return to New York for back-to-back shows at Madison Square Garden next Tuesday and Wednesday.

The tour, which began on April 29, is currently set to run through Dec. 20, including a European leg later this summer.

Timberlake’s rep did not respond to Pvnew’s request for comment.

The Grammy winner was arrested early Tuesday and charged with one count of driving while intoxicated. He was also cited for two traffic violations: failure to stop a stop sign and failure to keep right.

Timberlake posed for a mugshot with visibly bloodshot eyes before being released without bail later that morning.

While the former *NSYNC member has yet to publicly address the bust, his lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., told Pvnew exclusively Wednesday that he “looks forward to vigorously defending” his celebrity client in court.

“He will have a lot to say at the appropriate time,” Burke teased. “He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.”

The arrest came shortly after Timberlake left dinner with friends at the American Hotel in Sag Harbor, where an eyewitness saw him looking “wasted” and drinking other people’s cocktails Monday night.

After being pulled over, the “Mirrors” crooner failed a field sobriety test and repeatedly refused to take a breathalyzer test.

A criminal complaint obtained by Pvnew stated that Timberlake claimed to have consumed only one martini at the posh Hamptons hotel, but the arresting officer noticed he had “bloodshot and glassy eyes” in addition to “a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage” on his breath.

We also exclusively reported that the “Trolls” voice actor seemed concerned about the fate of his tour during the investigation.

“The cop didn’t know who he was at first,” a source told us. “Justin said under his breath, ‘This is going to ruin the tour.’ The cop replied, ‘What tour?’ Justin said, ‘The world tour.'”

After being released from custody, Timberlake had a driver take him from Long Island to New York City, where his wife, Jessica Biel, has been filming the Amazon Prime Video series “The Better Sister.”

A source told People Wednesday that the actress, 42, was “not happy” about her husband’s arrest but “loves” him and “will always be by his side.”

The couple, who married in 2012, share two sons: Silas, 9, and Phineas, 3.
