Justin Bieber cancels world tour, including Hong Kong show, over ‘unforeseen circumstances’

Pop singer Justin Bieber cancelled the remainder of his “Purpose” world tour due to unspecified “unforeseen circumstances,” his tour publicist said in a statement on Monday.

The cancellation will affect 14 dates in North America and Asia through October 10, and tickets will be refunded. He had been due to play in Hong Kong on September 27.

“Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them,” the statement said.

“He is grateful and honoured to have shared that experience with his cast and crew for over 150 successful shows across 6 continents during this run. However, after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates.”

No further details were given and Bieber, 23, did not make any statements on his social media platforms. Celebrity news website TMZ.com cited a source as saying Bieber had decided to cancel because he was “just over it.”

The singer was photographed at the weekend out hiking near Los Angeles with a young woman, and appeared to be in good shape.
