Justin Bieber Cancels Tour Meet-and-Greets
The "Sorry" singer announced the news on his Instagram on Tuesday night.
— -- If you were planning on joining Justin Bieber for a meet-and-great during the his ongoing "Purpose" tour, forget about it.
Bieber, 22, announced on Instagram Tuesday night that he was canceling all the tour's future meet-and-greets.
"I enjoy meeting such incredible people," Bieber wrote. "But I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people's spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy. The pressure of meeting people's expectations of what I'm supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders."
"Never want to disappoint but I feel I would rather give you guys the show and my albums as promised," he continued.
Bkstg, the company that manages Bieber's VIP experiences, further expanded on the meet-and-greet cancellation, citing a "security incident" as the reason for the change. The site said they will offer refunds for the VIP experiences that included group pictures and offer alternatives.
"Purpose" is Bieber's fourth studio album, and the first time the pop star has been doing frequent meet-and-greets since he wrapped up his "Believe" tour in 2013.
Bieber's struggles with the demands of fame and touring have been well-publicized, concerns he has admitted in previous interviews and references in his song "I'll Show You."
