Justin Bieber announced on Instagram yesterday in a heart-wrenching post that he will no longer be hosting meet-and-greets for his devoted Beliebers. The pop star revealed that the events are very emotionally taxing on him and he feels constant pressure to live up to superfans’ unrealistic expectations.
Back in 2015, Bieber proved to the world that he still had something great to offer when he made a successful and unexpected comeback with hit songs like “Where R U Now” and “Sorry.” But now the star says he feels like he might be slipping again, writing on Instagram, “I want to stay in the healthy mindset I’m in to give you the best show you have ever seen.”
The post, which received more than a million likes, welcomed mixed responses from fans—some expressing support and concern, others extremely disappointed. But it’s okay, Justin. We understand. You should go and love yourself first.
