Timberlake dedicates song to Soma victims

ISTANBUL

American R&B singer Justin Timberlake dedicated one of his songs, “Until the End of Time,” to the victims of Soma mine blast during his concert on May 26 in Istanbul.

Some 301 miners died two weeks ago in Turkey’s worst ever industrial disaster, where an explosion in the Soma coal mine, located in western province of Manisa, caused an underground fire.

Timberlake’s concert was part of his “The 20/20 Experience” world tour and was held at the Istanbul Technical University (ITÜ) Stadium.

The two-hour live performance included his most popular songs such as “Rock Your Body,” “Cry Me a River” and “Love Stoned,” and he was accompanied by a 28-person dance and orchestral group.
