Ugh, you’ve just been Bieber’d. This ^^ is an Instagram photo Justin posted last night after he “collapsed” on stage in London. Justin posted the photo from the hospital with the message, “Gettin better listening to Janice Joplin”. JANIS. Not Janice. Considering Justin’s “collapse” came just hours after he was wandering around London in a gas mask and having some kind of Twitter meltdown, what does this really mean?
The show must go on. Justin Bieber had a bit of a scare when he fainted mid-concert on Thursday, March 7, but he didn’t let that stop him from finishing the performance.
“Justin fainted onstage tonight during his concert in London when he fell short of breath,” the 19-year-old “Boyfriend” singer’s rep tells Us Weekly. “He left the stage for 20 minutes, then came back and finished the show. He is now on his way to a doctor to get checked out and see what is wrong.”
“He got oxygen from emergency personnel. He insisted on finishing the show,” his rep tells E!. “He is on the way to the hospital right now.”
Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, got on stage to explain to the crowd what was going on, according to YouTube videos of the show.
“Justin got very light of breath. The whole show he’s been complaining, and he’s backstage with the EMTs and the doctor,” Braun announced. “They’re telling him that they want him to go see somebody and see what’s going on with his lungs.”
Bieber then returned for a rousing ovation, continued the performance, before being taken to the hospital.
It is not yet known what caused the episode, but there’s no doubt it’s been a stressful week for the pop superstar. On Wednesday, March 6, Bieber took to Twitter to talk about rising above the drama and focusing on his loyal fans, a.k.a. Beliebers.
“I’m focused on the good things in life. I’m blessed and not forgetting it,” he wrote. Later, he added: “I will continue being me. I will continue to serve, to perform, to care, to love, to smile, to dance, to play, to sing…and you are welcome to join, because I carry no hate. We got too much love for that. I’m about the music.”
The singer, 19, collapsed on stage at London’s O2 arena on Thursday night after complaining of breathing problems throughout the performance.
Early Friday morning London time, he Tweeted: “getting better. thanks for everyone pulling me thru tonight. best fans in the world. figuring out what happened. thanks for the love”
[From Us Weekly & People Magazine]
Hunh… okay, now I do believe that his collapse might have been caused by some kind of legit medical problem, although that problem is probably more of the “smoking weed, drinking and not getting enough sleep because he’s partying so much and bangin’ so many girls in London” variety. Should we give him a collective side-eye for being such a drama queen, or should we applaud him for finishing the show even when he wasn’t feeling great? Eh. I barely care. This is just another chapter in what will become a larger story about this d-bag’s issues.

100% PR stunt to combat the backlash from the London concert fiasco. (baby Bieber showing us 2 hours late).
And, why must he subject us to not only his shirtless boy body, but also his underwear? He is fascinated with his underwear…what’s that about?

Lol! I just came to say the exact same thing!
He must think we’re all fools (although he really only needs to trick his fan base). Oh! He’s so brave! He put on a concert despite being faint! Forget that other concert! Ugh.

I hate to say it, but that’s what I thought, too. Also, wearing a gas mask when it’s not necessary to protect from a chemically poisoned atmosphere is going to cause a lack of oxygen intake anyway–those things aren’t frigging fashion accessories.

Yep…I think he wore his gas mask a little bit too long…Why does he seem so desperate at this point?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I was thinking the gas mask had something to do with it too. Also if he would stand up straight when he walked, not all hunched over, it would open his diaphragm and allow him to take full deep breaths. He’s have to find a different way to hold his pants up if he did that though?

He’s so fascinated with his Big Boy Underpants because he’s just recently begun wearing them. That’s the only reason I can think of.
Yeah, total stunt by a drama queen.

Yes. He’s very proud of his toilet training success and wants everyone to see he’s not wearing a diaper.

It is totally a stunt. A legitimate medical emergency would require the tour team putting his health first…and NOT alerting the audience that he “was told to go the hospital, but he wants to finish the show for YOU”. If it was a real scare, they wouldn’t alert the audience that he might be leaving because that could create traffic flow issues.
Complete stunt. Funny that he had the tantrum with the paps this morning. He is an idiot. Who can save him from himself?

I agree it’s a stunt, however, smoking pot at the same time you’re taking certain drugs (prescription, I mean) can result in fainting. Used to happen to me as a teenager when I was on anti-depressants and smoking dope at the same time. Something caused me to not breathe deeply enough and I would often pass out or get really lightheaded after smoking. Being a stupid kid, it took me a while to clue in and knock it off. So since Justin is a huge dolt, I’m assuming this could be the case for him.

Hey NYC Girl-count me in for Sting. What a sexy guy he was and still IS really. He didn’t have that annoying babyface look that is so coveted by the younger crowd, he just looked…sexy. Also-a great songwriter and a great singer.
Looking back, I never crushed on NKOTB or the other boy bands that were popular at the time. I always liked the naughty boys in hair bands like Motley Crue & Guns N Roses. Although, many would argue that a dude with big hair and eyeliner really isn’t a step up from a guy wearing a Members Only jacket and hammer pants.
But I digress……

Hi Kitten! The Police were my first concert when I was 14!! I always thought Nikki Sixx was hot and was shocked about 10+ years ago when I heard him speak. I think it was “Behind the Music-” although he was talking about OD’ing, he was oddly well-spoken and coherent!!

Mmm, Sting. Although I admit I wasn’t attracted to men like that looked like men until I hit my teens…before that, like, it was all about Zack Morris for me. Zach Morris from Saved By The Bell. Johnny Depp [21 Jump Street...yes, I was quite young in the late 80's early 90's]. I HATED NKOTB. I got in trouble in kindergarten for tearing up a poster of NKOTB my classmate brought in, they made me sick to my stomach, it was weird to feel that strongly against fluffy pop acts at the age of 5. I’d have hated Bieber.
Not that Zack Morris was particularly edgy, lol.
Kurt Cobain though, I was in love with him.

I know I’m probably giving him too much benefit here, and hoping that it wasn’t a PR thing. I could see the kid just kind of breaking. He’s been acting pretty weird lately; even for him.
As much as I think he’s an entitled little shit head, it’s probably hard to skyrocket to fame like that. Yea, that’s what he wanted. But he might just be burning out a bit.
I’m feeling oddly sympathetic towards people today.

Yeah there were similar comments being made on the Bieber post yesterday.
I mean, he’s no Chris Brown-it’s not like he’s a terrible human being.
I guess it’s just hard for me to feel badly for someone who has SO much to be thankful for when so many are suffering in this world and would gladly trade places with him in a heartbeat.
That being said, the kid is only human and I agree that he’s been slowly imploding over the past few months. It looks like a case of burn-out. Lucky for him, when he’s done touring, he can take his millions and go buy a house in Hawaii to relax for a while if he wants.

Yes, he is extremely well paid to do what he does, and he can wipe his tears with hundred dollar bills. But I think the flip side is that this kid’s life has been managed to the minute for years, by other people who are making a lot of money off his back. If he has contractual obligations, he can’t just jet off to Hawaii to relax. His people will work him until he is no longer useful, or bringing in the money, and they will move on to someone who can. With YouTube, there are millions of kids (and their parents) waiting to become the next Bieber. The pressure must be immense. Photo ops like this are probably staged by his people, and he has to smile for the camera even when he is feeling like crap. I’m not a close follower by any means, but I think his social media is closely monitored and vetted. The moment he steps out of line, they reel him back in with a ridiculous stunt like this.
Even with all his material comfort, sometimes I have to wonder if it is worth it. He’s five years older than my oldest son. I own that its probably a maternal thing, but I can’t help feeling sorry for him.
