Justin Bieber caused an uproar at his Sunday night show in Manchester when he dropped the microphone and walked off stage, frustrated that his fans would not stop screaming.
“I appreciate all the support, I appreciate love, I appreciate the kind things,” Bieber told fans, according to Billboard. “But the screaming in these breaks has got to stop. Please and thank you. I don’t think it’s necessary when I’m trying to say something and you guys are screaming.”
Bieber then left.
He eventually came back after the crowd’s pleading, but told the audience he would no longer be speaking in between songs, according to The Sun.
He told his fans he tries to speak to the crowd to connect with them, but that was not possible in Manchester.
“I feel like I wanna connect with you,” he said, adding, “I’m just going to quit the talking, all right. I’m not going to talk the rest of the night.”
It’s not the first time Bieber has run into trouble during his Purpose tour. In recent weeks, he’s been booed by fans for similar outbursts, begging the crowd to stop screaming.
Bieber is known for his passionate young fans, nicknamed Beliebers. The star has been mocked by fellow celebs in the past for his seemingly spoiled behavior.
