​Justin Timberlake tears up at 2015 Memphis Music Hall of Fame induction

Justin Timberlake got emotional Saturday during his induction into the 2015 Memphis Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony, at one point wiping away tears while speaking about his wife Jessica Biel and the other musicians receiving the honor.

"This is the f****** coolest thing that has ever happened to me," the Memphis, Tennessee, native said after Jimmy Fallon's introduction. "The Grammys are political. The Emmys are political. Memphis is not political. And don't get me started on Hollywood ... Memphis is the global capital of soul, and that soul is not just in the music, it's in the people."

Timberlake said he was honored to be inducted alongside Scotty Moore, Alberta Hunter, Al Jackson, Jr., Memphis Slim, Charlie Rich and Sam Moore of Sam & Dave were also inducted.

"I am truly honored to be able to stand on the shoulders of all these legends that I grew up listening to and I grew up admiring to say that I stand alongside them now," Timberlake said.

Probably the sweetest moment, though, came when Timberlake gave a shout-out to his wife.

"Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write," Timberlake said about Biel.
