Nice guy Bieber leaves Prince’s Trust high and dry after festival show cancellation

Despite being the world’s nicest guy, Justin Bieber has pulled out his headline slot at Birmingham’s Fusion Festival later this month. And as well as pissing off his fans, it also looks doubly bad because the festival raises money for the Prince’s Trust charity. Oh, Bieber.

In a statement, Biebs said: “To all my UK Beliebers, due to an unforeseen issue I will be unable to perform at the Fusion Festival on 28 Aug. I support the Prince’s Trust wholeheartedly and am deeply disappointed I won’t be able to perform. I look forward to the opportunity to give my UK Beliebers a great show, and hope to honour my commitment to the Trust at that time”.

What a guy. He cares about his fans and is definitely aware of what the Prince’s Trust is and does. There are none greater than he.

Misjudging how on board we all are with how lovely he is now, he having totally turned his life around from those days of being an utter shit, he added: “And now the UK press will start to tear me apart. Comes with the job. Love you guys regardless and I will make this up to you”.

Don’t worry Biebo, we’re on your side. You’re super awesome. And the Prince’s Trust doesn’t mind. Look, it tweeted: “Thanks [Justin,] we’re sad you can’t make it but really looking forward to working with you in the future!”

In a further statement, the Trust said: “We are sorry to hear that Justin Bieber is unable to perform at Fusion Festival on the 28 Aug. Fusion Festival are working hard to secure another exciting act and will hopefully have some news shortly”.

As exciting as Justin Bieber? Maybe. But will they be as nice?
