Justin Bieber walked off stage mid-show in Argentina during a stop on his Believe tour and he’s blaming it on food poisoning.
He took to Twitter before the show to let fans know he had a case of food poisoning. He even retweeted posts from his friends defending him.
Bieber first wrote, “Sitting here with food poisoning and heard we won #bestmale at the #EMAs. Thanks everyone,” later adding, “This sucks. #sick food poisoning.”
“Not feeling so good. Actually pretty sick. Pulling it together. Argentina we got a show to do. Love u,” he added.
The AP notes Bieber told his fans he was “out of energy” before blowing them a kiss and calling it quits on the concert in Buenos Aires. The audience in River Plate stadium booed after he exited the stage.
However, Bieber’s friend Alfredo Flores tweeted after the incident, “Going against doctors orders he still went on stage tonight. The last thing Justin ever wants to do is let his fans down,” another friend wrote, “he tried his hardest,you guys don't see him in between songs when he comes offstage, I do,I don't know how he made it as far as he did.”
He hasn’t had such a smooth ride on the South American leg of his tour; being caught leaving a brothel in Brazil, a woman posting a picture of him sleeping and then getting kicked out of his hotel in Argentina due to his rowdy fans.
