Pop boyband The Wanted have been enjoying their stint supporting teen megastar Justin Bieber on his South American tour so much they want to support him in the states too – and now they’ve been hotly tipped as favourites to earn the warm-up spot on his US tour.
The five-piece are keen to crack America after already selling-out a New York show and they think supporting the Bieber is the best way to do it - band member Siva Kaneswaran described the opportunity as ‘massive’.
“Justin and his manager love us supporting him,” Kaneswaran claimed. “There's a chance of us supporting him in America at some point, which would be massive for us. You can't get bigger than him to help launch you in America. We've just sold out a gig in New York City and want to give America a go.”
Kaneswaran went on to talk about life alongside Canadian signer Bieber, and how his fans are even wilder than theirs.
“I thought our fans were crazy but his are mental. We were staying in the same hotel as Justin but he had so much security we couldn't even get in. Justin had two full floors for him and his entourage. There were about 200 fans blocking the entrance outside but there was no way anyone was getting to his room.
