Justin Bieber's wax figure at the Madame Tussauds is going to be removed, as it has been damaged over the years.

Sources have revealed that the wax statue was displayed without any no ropes or barriers in order to stop fans from groping or grabbing it, which has now taken a toll on the wax figure, the New York Post reported.

The museum said that the wax figure no longer did justice either to the star or to the attraction and they have reluctantly decided to remove it.

Bret Pidgeon, general manager of Madame Tussauds said that it is highly disappointing and they are hoping to come up with a new "grown-up" Bieber statue in the near future.
