It’s no secret Beliebers are some of the most dedicated fans out there, sticking up for Justin Bieber no matter what ups or downs he’s going through. But after he canceled his Purpose World Tour, will they be able to support him?
In a TMZ video, Justin said he’s been “touring for two years” and although everything is fine, he’s looking forward to “resting, getting some relaxation” and riding bikes with his friends. Honestly, I can’t really blame him for wanting some downtime; the Purpose Tour started in March 2016, and it’s now been more than a year of nonstop performances. I would be exhausted, too.
When asked if he had a message for his fans, Bieber replied, “I think you guys are awesome. Sorry for anybody who feels disappointed or betrayed. It’s not in my heart or anything. And have a blessed day.” Maybe not as in-depth an explanation as fans wanted, but it seems genuine enough.
Justin’s manager Scooter Braun also apologized to fans who won’t get to see the pop star perform. “And to those that won’t be able to see it… on behalf of myself, Justin, and the team, we are sorry,” he wrote. “That was never our intent. But a man’s soul and well being I truly care about came first and We must all respect and honor that.”
John Mayer took to Twitter to show his support for Justin’s decision to end his tour early, offering a much-needed reminder about the importance of self-care.
When someone pulls remaining dates of a tour, it means they would have done real damage to themselves if they kept going. 1/2

We’ve lost so many great artists lately. I give Justin for realizing it was time to call it. You should too. 2/2

Social media star and actress Lele Pons also tweeted her support, telling the Biebs to get some rest.
Get some rest @justinbieber. You deserve it.

Justin may have caused some serious tears with this cancellation, but if taking a step back is what he needs right now, then his true fans will support him no matter what.
