The official statement read:  ‘Due to unforeseen circumstances, Justin Bieber will cancel the remainder of the Purpose World Tour concerts.’

As rumours grew, Bieber said in a statement, ‘I love you guys, I think you guys are awesome,’ adding, ‘Sorry for anyone who feels disappointed or betrayed, it’s not in my heart [or] anything, and have a blessed day.’

The 23-year-old singer said that while ‘everything’s fine’ with him, he’s a bit road-weary after having ‘been on tour for two years.’

Let’s put it down to burnout.
