Justin Bieber's cancelled all future fan meet and greets on his Purpose tour

Justin Bieber

'Home To Mama' hitmaker Justin Bieber has scrapped all future fan meet and greets on his Purpose tour because they leave him feeling "[full of] so much of other people's spiritual energy" and "drained and unhappy".

The announce­ment was made in a fairly intense Instagram post that you can read below:

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.. 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 .. The pressure of meeting people's 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 ;)

It's not clear if refunds will be given to the fans who've shelled out ludicrous amounts of money for future meet and greets, but we're sure that's all in hand.
