03 Aug Justin Bieber Finally Explains Why He Suddenly Cancelled His Tour

Justin Bieber has had one of the most unpredictable careers in pop music. Starting out as a viral child star on YouTube, he was scouted out and introduced to Usher, and the rest is pop culture history.

Since then, he has made the transition from child to teenager to adult, and his relationship with his fans has resembled a constantly spinning unspooling thread, winding back and forth between DUI arrests, peeing in mop buckets, and basically following the prototypical time-tested model of extremely famous child star turned uncontrollable and hated teen.

It seemed Bieber was destined to burn out early, a victim of his own fame. But everything changed in November 2015. Bieber did a total 180. As a child star, he was beloved by his fanbase, and mocked mercilessly by young adults. Hating on Bieber was the cool thing to do. Enter Purpose.

The album, produced by EDM heavyweights like Skrillex and Diplo, was an absolute hit with the same demographics that once derided Bieber as a childish artist. He crafted a hit project that was in line with modern music, and totally revamped his image as an artist who was here to stay in the new era of pop music.

But the saga of Bieber keeps unfolding. Now, he’s been banned from China for “bad behavior”, punched a fan at the tail end of 2016, and has accidentally hit a member of the paparazzi in a truck. A combination of bad luck, and the recklessness that anyone at his level of lifelong fame would be used to, have led him to pen a long note to his fans about the latest news to break from the Bieber camp:

The Purpose World Tour was cancelled. Without explanation, theories ran wild. But now, Bieber himself has given a statement on the matter.
