The accident comes just days after the Sorry singer cancelled his Purpose World Tour, due to “unforeseen circumstances”.

The statement read: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Justin Bieber will cancel the remainder of the Purpose World Tour concerts.

“Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them. He thanks his fans for the incredible experience of the Purpose World Tour over last 18 months.”

The tour kicked off on March 9 last year and was meant to end on October 10 in Indonesia.

Reports have surfaced around Bieber’s future being with his faith, as sources have claimed he may be exploring the idea of starting his own church.

He has denied the claims. He told TMZ this week: “No, you already know the reason.”
