The "Sexy Back" singer, who has had five No. 1 hits on Billboard's Hot 100 during his career, told concert-goers that Saturday's stop on his "Man of the Woods" tour at the CHI Health Center was the highest grossing concert at the Omaha venue, KETV reported.

Timberlake’s second surprise was even bigger -- the Grammy Award-winning singer announced that a portion of all ticket sales from Saturday night’s show will be donated to assist flood relief in the metro Omaha area, the television station reported.

Live Nation said it would match the donation, KETV reported, and a sponsor will deliver water to affected areas.
