Tour In light of the current public health crisis, Justin Bieber announces his rescheduled World Tour dates below. Feb 18, Pechanga Arena San Diego. Feb 20, T-Mobile Arena. Feb 22, Gila River Arena. Feb 23, The Forum. Feb 26, Tacoma Dome. Feb 28, Mar 2, Mar 4, Golden 1 Center.
Mar 7, But to my knowledge, there is not one example of him speaking this way—in a moving but unprompted, unselfconscious torrent of words—in public prior to this moment. I will admit to being disoriented. By which I mean: seemingly guileless.
Bursting with the desire to connect, to tell his own story, in case it might be of use to anyone else. His hair, under a Vetements hat, is long in the back; he is in no particular hurry. He is married to a woman—Hailey Baldwin Bieber—who cares for him like no one has ever cared for him, he says.
He is happy. He is currently renovating the house in which he will live happily with his wife. But I do remember this quote: The comforted become the comforters. But I really do feel comforted. I have a wife who I adore, who I feel comforted by. I feel safe. I feel like my relationship with God is wonderful.
And I have this outpouring of love that I want to be able to share with people, you know? He is aware that people have perceived him at times as anything but full of love. But today, he says, he thinks of himself as a comforter, in part because he knows what it is to have been the person who needed comfort so badly.
He asks himself now: How can I be of service? Justin Bieber wants to save that kid now. He wants to talk to him. He wants to tell him not all is lost. To gain access to him during a pandemic, one must first get through his private medical team.
A nurse is on call at the house and at the studio. Collaborators, friends, managers, producers, songwriters, engineers, all the disparate people one needs to gather together to again commence the work of being Justin Bieber—all are administered one rapid test and one PCR. And so me and my friend hid my passport.
But I was just going to do anything to be able to just be normal at that time. He did the Today show like he was supposed to.
He was just beginning to find out what accomplishing that dream might mean or what it might cost. An aside here, a word, whatever. Over the course of our conversations, I would occasionally think about a moment in the documentary Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. Bieber is young then, 15 or so, and learning what it is to become a person who can do literally anything—good, bad, or simply bizarre—and still count on people to cheer.
And we as a society are all too familiar with what happens next to kids like Justin Bieber. But I will share a personal view: Being famous breaks something in your brain.
Bieber earned his success while he was still a child; then his gift turned into a snake and bit him. Someone better, even. His friend Chance the Rapper remembers those days well. And we were both living in L. Bieber was at a low point in what was supposed to be a charmed life; at night, he says, his security guards began to slip into his room and check his pulse to make sure he was still alive.
And I still have these unresolved issues. And I thought all the success was going to make everything good. And so for me, the drugs were a numbing agent to just continue to get through. Today, Bieber can describe rock bottom with the clarity of someone who had to retrace every single step to hoist himself back out of it.
And so when that happens, obviously that makes you angry. What had all of it been for? Like, this is what I feel called to do. And my purpose in my life. But I'm always going to be myself on stage. Some fans questioned whether he was being rude in previous shows as he appeared to be lecturing them. There are three more dates on the UK leg of his world tour. Justin has since deleted his tweet. But Justin disagrees.
