Justin Bieber Rude To Fans, Family And Entourage At Much-Talked About London Gig, Claim The Sun

Although Canadian superstar Justin Bieber has since apologised for appearing a reported two hours late for his gig in London recently - citing ‘technical issues’ as the cause of his tardiness - reports from a tabloid paper have suggested that he was actually backstage ‘playing video games’ and ‘throwing a strop’.
The 19 year-old singer left kids in tears after arriving on stage at 10:30pm, two hours after he was allegedly billed to appear. Apologising via Twitter, he claimed he was actually 40 minutes late, but admitted that there ‘is no excuse for that’.
But now, a source has told The Sun that actually, he was being an absolute prima donna, shouting at his entourage ‘it’s my gig, I’ll go out when I want’.
The source claimed: “His lateness was because he didn't get out of bed until late and sat in his dressing room playing games - even though his door was being knocked. He then threw a strop as he said he wanted a shower first, despite already being late.
“Justin arrived at the O2 at 3pm to do some meet and greets, but he didn't get up until late because he'd had a heavy night at his hotel. Justin's really been going off the rails in recent months. He's bound to be pulled in for crisis talks.”
Ellie Grace, who worked at the venue, told the paper: “I hope I never have to experience so many upset children and disappointed fans again. I’d love to know why Bieber felt it was alright to leave 20,000 people waiting for two hours.”
Another worker, who remains unnamed, says: “He was arguing with members of his management, his family. It was a really uncomfortable atmosphere. His attitude was, 'I'm the star and I can do what I want'.”
The paper even reports that a 15 year-old girl who’d won a competition to meet Bieber - and spent £150 on a ticket to attend his concert afterwards - was treated extremely rudely by the star, and only got 10 seconds with him.
Her livid father told The Sun: “The way he has treated my daughter and her friend is appalling, like dirt. They won the competition to meet him, but paid an extra £150 each to see him in concert afterwards and how has he repaid them? By acting like a spoiled brat. It's disgusting.”
