Justin Bieber, the Canadian pop star who abruptly canceled a world tour last month, told fans Thursday he had sometimes let his « insecurities get the best of me. »
The 23-year-old singer posted a confessional message on social media saying he had made « mistakes » but that he intended to learn from then in future.
« Learning and growing hasn’t always been easy but knowing I’m not alone has kept me going, » Bieber told his huge fan base.
The note came weeks after he scrapped his world tour due to « unforeseen circumstances. » He was later involved in a traffic accident in which his vehicle hit and slightly injured a photographer.
« I have let my insecurities get the best of me at times, » Bieber acknowledged. « I’m VERY aware I’m never gonna be perfect, and I’m gonna keep making mistakes.
« 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, » he said.
The message gave no details as to why he canceled his world tour on July 24, despite the massive success of his 2015 album « Purpose. »
The hit was a return to form after a series of tabloid incidents in which Bieber illegally raced a car through Miami and threw eggs at a neighbor’s house.
« Me this taking time right now is me saying I want to be SUSTAINABLE, » he said. « I want my career to be sustainable, but I also want my heart and soul to be sustainable. »
« This message is just an opportunity for you to know my heart, I’m not expecting anyone to understand, » he said, finishing the message with a line in capital letters in which he declared that « I think there’s something special about imperfections. »
