Fans concerned after Justin Bieber posts photos of himself crying online

Justin Bieber has sparked concern among fans after uploading pictures of himself crying onto his social media.

With the 'Eenie Meenie' singer having ended his Justice World Tour early back in 2023 to focus on his health, Bieber also hasn't officially released any new music since 2022. He also turned down the opportunity to perform at the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime show alongside Usher, meaning a lot of fans have been keeping up with him via social media.

The 30-year-old ended his world tour early after revealing he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which is caused by the same virus as chickenpox (VSZ).

Bieber opened up about the condition on his Instagram page, even showing fans a video of himself while part of his face was still temporarily paralysed - a symptom of the condition.

And it's not the only time the 'Baby' singer has used his social media to be vulnerable with fans, a post he shared to his profile on Saturday (27 April) seeing his followers flock to the images to offer their support.

Over the weekend, Bieber shared several photographs in one post.

The first image shows the singer up on stage performing, wearing tracksuits and a cap.

The second image also sees Bieber on stage wearing glasses this time too, singing into a microphone and the third image similarly on stage, but the image black and white and fireworks going off behind him.

The fourth and fifth show the back of the singer while he's on stage, Bieber wearing a top which reads '8 drew' and the sixth appears to show a close-up shot of some marijuana.

But the seventh and eighth go on to reveal selfies of Bieber, both in which he's wearing a jumper and green hat and appears to be crying.

And it's not taken long for people to flood to the post in concern.

"Justin, we are here for you brother," another added.

A third commented: "Plzz tell me why were u crying.. I'm dyyyiiinnggg to know !!"

"Jesus heals the broken hearted & binds up their wounds. He loves you so much! No matter what you have done or been through. He will always be a cry away," a fourth added.

And a final said: "Don't cry my mate, give it all to Jesus for He cares for YOU! "

Hailey Bieber - Justin's partner - even took to the post to comment, writing: "A pretty crier."

UNILAD has contacted Justin Bieber's representatives for comment.
