Justin Bieber Cancels ‘Purpose’ Tour
Justin Bieber has cancelled the remainder of his “Purpose” tour after pulling 14 dates in Asian and North America. It seems the 23-year-old megastar is ready to step out of the spotlight and take time to become the man he wants to be, according to an open letter he posted to Instagram yesterday.
In the lengthy statement Bieber said: “Me taking this time right now is me saying I want to be SUSTAINABLE.. I want my career to be sustainable, but I also want my mind heart and soul to be sustainable.”
So the good news is Bieber wants to stay in the industry forever, but the bad news is his tour is cancelled and he isn’t making any new music in the near future. Don’t worry Justin, we beliebe in you! (One last pun, for old times’ sake.)

**********
The infamous Bieb is back in a big way (and no, it’s not another nude pic. Unfortunately). The 21-year-old pop superstar is getting geared up to drop his fourth studio album, Purpose, this Friday, and in support of the new tunes he’s just announced a world tour. The “Purpose” tour will be the singer’s first in three years, after he spent the better part of 2012 and 2013 on the road with Believe.
So far, the tour spans from early March until mid-July, kicking off at the KeyArena in Seattle, WA, on March 9. The first leg of shows will tackle the Western portion of North America, the second leg takes place in the Midwest and South, and the third leg is a smattering of Canadian, Northeast, and more Midwest and Southern stops. Of course, you’ll want to check the full tour itinerary below to see when Bieber will be heading to your hometown. Tickets go on sale next week–stay tuned for more details as they unfold!
