Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagicAttention all you Beliebers out there, what you're about to hear may put a serious damper on your day. Consider yourselves warned…
Justin Bieber just announced that he will no longer be meeting with fans backstage during his current Purpose World Tour, and he's truly sorry about it.
"Love u guys, I'm going to be canceling my meet and greets. I enjoy meeting such incredible people but I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people's spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy," he began by writing on Instagram next to a photo of him hugging an adoring fan.
"Want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense and I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression."
But Bieber got straight to the heart of the matter when he wrote, "The pressure of meeting peoples' expectations of what I'm supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders. Never want to disappoint but I feel I would rather give you guys the show and my albums as promised. Can't tell you how sorry I am, and wish it wasn't so hard on me…And I want to stay in the healthy mindset I'm in to give you the best show you have ever seen."
Bieber is scheduled to perform 114 shows in total during his globetrotting tour, which is slated to conclude on Nov. 29 in London.
