Justin Bieber claims he's 'broken' and has 'anger issues' in a new admission that is fuelling fans long-standing concerns.
Fans of the 'Baby' hitmaker have become increasingly worried about the star's physical and mental health for some time now, ever since he stepped out in New York looking gaunt and hollow-eyed earlier this year.
While Bieber has been open about his personal health battles with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and addiction in the past, his reps slammed allegations that he has relapsed on drugs as 'absolutely not true'.
But he's also reportedly been burdened by 'debts' after cancelling his 2023 world tour due to illness, and fans have speculated his six-year-long marriage to Hailey Bieber could be on the rocks.

The 31-year-old and recent father-of-one has only been adding fuel to the fire of the rumor mill by regularly penning poetic letters and other cryptic messages on social media.
Bieber's reflective notes include statements like he 'hates himself sometimes' and that he has 'always felt unworthy' and a 'fraud'.
He's called himself an 'average flawed guy' and asked 'God to help' him overcome his insecurities – and earlier this month, he said he was 'tired of transactional relationships'.
Now, he's taken to Instagram again with some more heartbreaking insight on how he really feels about himself.
Bieber wrote: "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?
"I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues. I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry."
The Canadian singer continued to explain in his emotional rant: "The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am.
"Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly I'm exhausted with thinking about myself lately. Aren't you?"
The 'Love Yourself' singer captioned his post with a simple middle finger emoji.
The latest post comes as Bieber has posted videos and images of him smoking and what appears to be a text message exchange with a former friend where he wrote: "If you don't like my anger you don't like me. My anger is a response to pain I have been thru. Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean."
"This friendship is officially over. I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out," another text message read.
It also comes as his wife Hailey ignited gossip about their relationship when she appeared to snub his first Father's Day post.
The couple welcomed their first child, Jack, in August after tying the knot in 2018.
Marking his first Father’s Day as a dad, Justin shared a picture of himself on Instagram with the caption: “I’m a dad that’s not to be f*cked with.”
Hailey later commented: “Father’s Day sucks a**”, which appears to have since been deleted.
Prior to that, Justin had also revealed the pair had got into a row before her Vogue front cover appearance.
He said at the time: "Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue.
"Yikes I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected. I thought I gotta get even."
He then concluded: "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken."
