Concert postponed as Justin Bieber tests positive for Covid-19

Justin Bieber has tested positive for Covid-19.

The 27-year-old pop star has been forced to postpone at least one concert date after returning a positive test result.

A spokesperson for hitmaker Love Yourself told TMZ that Justin learned of his test result on Saturday (local time) but is feeling “good” at the moment.

The chart-topping star – who is one of the world’s best-selling artists – was scheduled to perform at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday. However, that show has now moved to the summer, due to Bieber’s diagnosis.

Bieber is also scheduled to perform in Glendale, Arizona, and the Los Angeles Forum later this week. But it is currently unclear whether or not these concerts will go ahead as planned.

Bieber’s team previously announced the postponement of his show in Las Vegas. But his positive Covid result was not made public at the time.

In a statement, Bieber’s team explained: “Due to the positive Covid results within the Justice Tour family, we will unfortunately have to postpone Sunday’s show in Las Vegas. Justin is of course extremely disappointed, but the health and the safety of his team and his fans are always his number one priority.

“The tour launch in San Diego was a huge success, and Justin is thrilled to bring this spectacular show to his Las Vegas fans as soon as possible.

“The rescheduled date for Las Vegas will be Tuesday, June 28. Tickets to the original show will be honored. Refunds available at point of sale.”

Bieber – who is married to model Hailey Bieber – began his Justice World Tour in San Diego on Friday.
