Justin Timberlake is grateful for his die-hard fans — and the “rookies” — who attended the latest stop of his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour” on Sunday.

He took the stage at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio, and got a little choked up expressing his gratitude to the crowd.

“So many of you keep shining [your] light on me, and I want you to know how grateful I am, and I do not take it for granted,” he said.

“And each and everyone of you — even you rookies tonight — you have made my life special,” he added.

Timberlake also told the crowd he’ll remember them, “until, I’m somewhere off this earth — wherever that might be — I want you to know that I will never forget each and everyone of you… I said I wasn’t gonna cry!”

One actual rookie, Michael Arkinson, is the 23-year-old cop who pulled Timberlake over in Sag Harbor for a suspected DWI last month.

A source told us the officer was so young, he had no clue who the former boyband artist was. “He didn’t recognize him or his name,” the source said.

The incident continues to follow the “SexyBack” singer.

Several fans were spotted in the stadium in Cleveland wearing T-shirts with his mug shot on it. One read: “I’m Bringing Tipsy Back” as a nod to his hit song.

We previously reported that an artist, Godfrey Lohman, even turned Timberlake’s Hamptons mug shot into Andy Warhol-like pop art — and it’s being sold at local Sag Harbor gallery, Romany Kramoris.

But Timberlake is seemingly trying not to let the attention from his DWI bust get to him.

He kicked off his weekend in Cleveland dining at Mia Bella, in the city’s Little Italy neighborhood.

A spy described him as appearing “very happy,” while he took photos with a few fans in the restaurant.

A concertgoer also described Sunday’s show as “one of the best I’ve ever seen!”

Timberlake’s next tour stop is tonight at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.
