Gossip: Justin Bieber
The teenage pop icon had a bad week in London on his concert tour.
Justin Bieber is becoming a drama queen. While in London last week on his concert tour, Bieber was turned away when he tried to celebrate his 19th birthday in exclusive club Cirque du Soir because there were minors in his party. He later tweeted that it was the “worst birthday ever.” At his next concert, he turned up onstage nearly two hours later than advertised, long after many of his prepubescent fans had been forced to go home. Things went from bad to worse when he collapsed on stage later that week with breathing issues, and then Instagrammed a shirtless picture of himself “recovering” in the hospital. The following day, he capped off his week by taking a swing at some paparazzi, while he was restrained by his minders. The teenage pop icon seemed to recognize that things hadn’t gone well. “Rough week,” he tweeted at his 35 million followers.
