A round-up of the latest live music news…
Justin Bieber has postponed the remainder of his world tour with 70 concerts across four continents impacted.
The Canadian singer said the same health problems that caused him to postpone dates in North America earlier this year were the reason for his decision to cancel upcoming Justice Tour appearances up until March 2023 in South America, Asia, Australasia and Europe.
Bieber made the decision after appearing at last week’s Rock in Rio festival in Brazil.

A spokesperson from BookMyShow, the promotor for the India leg of the Justin Bieber Justice World Tour, said: “We are aware that Justin Bieber has decided to take a break from touring and wish Justin a speedy recovery. We admire his decision to put his health first and can’t wait to see him back on the road.
