If you follow any teenagers on social media, you’re probably aware that Justin Bieber has decided to cancel the last 14 shows of his world tour, Purpose. Realising that a lot of people are going to be disappointed after waiting months to see the pop star, you’re probably thinking that there must be a really important reason why he’s cutting the tour short. Maybe there are technical faults or maybe Bieber has some family circumstance that means he is physically unable to perform.

Well he posted this huge paragraph on Instagram as an explanation:

Translation: “I’ve made enough money off the tour and frankly I can’t be arsed to do it 14 more times”. This excuse is so mediocre and doesn’t say much for Bieber’s work ethic. We all get that doing high energy shows more or less every day is tiring but most people would also like to remind Bieber that there are worse jobs that he could be doing and anyone would quite happily sing and dance for two hours a day for even a fraction of the money that Justin Bieber earns.

(Hang on, one minute- just going to text my boss and say that I can’t work on Monday because I let jealousy, fear and bitterness rule my life.)

Anyway, who really cares? Some kids will be disappointed for a few days while Bieber sips cocktails in his mansion drafting his next excuse to cancel his next tour. That’s showbiz.

    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
