Looks like Justin Bieber's cover on his latest 'Purpose' album has failed to impress the Muslim community, as it has been banned in various Middle Eastern nations.
Showbiz insiders revealed that the 21- year-old singer's album will not be sold in various Middle Eastern nations and Indonesia due to its cover which shows the singer with a cross on his bare chest, the Daily Star reports.

The ban comes just days after full-frontal shots of the 'Baby' hit-maker in the nude were released on social media.
