Pop star Justin has broken his silence over the controversy that sparked after he walked out of his Manchester concert.
The Canadian singer took it to Twitter to explain why he walked off the stage at Manchester Arena a week ago. He has since deleted his note, reported Aceshowbiz.
"People tend to want to shut you down. What I mean by that is people try to twist things, some people don't want to listen. But I simply feel like, if I didn't use this platform to say how I truly feel and speak from what's in my heart, then I'm doing myself injustice, and I'm not doing anybody in this audience any justice," he wrote.
"There's going to be times where I say the wrong thing, because I'm human. There's times when I get upset, times when I get angry, there's times when I'm going to be frustrated. But I'm always going to be myself on this stage," he continued.
Bieber said he simply wanted his fans to hear him out.
"All I was simply doing was wanting people to listen; to kind of hear me out a little bit. Certain cities aren't going to want to hear me out, and you know, sometimes it's my job to just say, 'Hey, I'm not going to try to force anything.
