Justin posted a heartfelt message about why he cancelled the M&Gs on his ‘Purpose’ World Tour, as fans call for him to pull out of the shows altogether.
It’s the moment some #Beliebers have paid hundreds for, but Justin Bieber has announced that he will no longer be doing meet and greets before shows on his Purpose World Tour - and now fans have called for him to scrap the tour altogether.
After Justin revealed the news on Instagram, posting a heartfelt message alongside a photo of him hugging a RIDICULOUSLY sweet young fan ahead of one of his recent shows, fans were worried for his health and some urged him to cancel the rest of his tour as well, while others wanted the show to go on.
Woah what's wrong with u people? Justins already going through a lot! #CancelPurposeTour

The Biebs originally posted, “Love u guys.. I'm going to be canceling my meet and greets. I enjoy meeting such incredible people but I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people's spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy..
“Want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense and I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression .. The pressure of meeting people's expectations of what I'm supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders.
“Never want to disappoint but I feel I would rather give you guys the show and my albums as promised. Can't tell you how sorry I am, and wish it wasn't so hard on me.. And I want to stay in the healthy mindset I'm in to give you the best show you have ever seen ;)”
According to TMZ, a source claimed that the reason Justin decided to cancel his M&Gs was over security concerns after an obsessed female fan who was on his security’s ‘watch list’ got within 10 feet of him during the photo session on Monday.
While fans are obviously disappointed not to have the chance to meet Justin in the flesh, there has been a mixed reaction with some fans supporting his decision while others were not happy with the Biebs.

This is only the second time that Justin has ever cancelled something because of his health so stop saying he doesn't care because he does
— Justin Bieber (@Neymarjr_Bieber) March 23, 2016
I can't put into words how important Justin is to me and his wellbeing, the cancelled m&gs were the LA fake stans fault anyway so
— idk (@adorexbiebs) March 23, 2016
can't believe Justin's cancelled his m&gs. feel so sorry for everyone who saved up every penny for years just to have 2 seconds with him!

Scooter told some fans today in Los Angeles that the group M&Gs are cancelled for Justin's safety.

Here’s hoping Justin’s feeling better soon – and that his diehard fans get a chance to hang out with him very soon!
