Justin Bieber may have had only 14 shows left of his "Purpose World Tour," but the pop star nixed the trek and caused a wave of speculation surrounding the real reason for the cancellation. Now, just a week after the sudden announcement, the Biebster has spoken out on all the fuss in a lengthy note.
"I’m so grateful for this journey with all of you. I’m grateful for the tours but most of all I am grateful I get to go through this life WITH YOU! Learning and growing hasn’t always been easy but knowing I’m not alone has kept me going," he wrote in a letter, which was posted via Instagram on Wednesday night (August 2). "I have let my insecurities get the best of me at times, I let my broken relationships dictate the way I acted towards people and the way I treated them! I let bitterness, jealousy and fear run my life!!!"
Bieber went on to explicitly explain that he's taking time for himself so that his career and personal headspace can be sustainable in the future. "I've learned the more you appreciate your calling the more you want to protect your calling," he wrote. "Me taking this time right now is me saying I want to be SUSTAINABLE... so that I can be the man I want to be, the husband I eventually want to be, and the father I want to be."
“Learning and growing hasn’t always been easy but knowing I’m not alone has kept me going. I have let my insecurities get the best of me at times, I let my broken relationships dictate the way I acted toward people and the way I treated them," he continued. "I let bitterness, jealousy and fear run my life.!!!! ... What I’m not gonna do is be ashamed of my mistakes. I wanna be a man that learns from them and grows from them.!!”
As for the letter's grammatical errors, well, Justin concluded his note on a sweet note: "I THINK THERES SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT IMPERFECTIONS!!"
Bieber's "Purpose World Tour" started in March 2016 in support of his blockbuster LP, Purpose, and went onto gross $163.3 million in the last year, according to industry tracker Pollstar. All tickets for the trek were refunded.
