Ugh, you’ve just been Bieber’d. This ^^ is an Instagram photo Justin posted last night after he “collapsed” on stage in London. Justin posted the photo from the hospital with the message, “Gettin better listening to Janice Joplin”. JANIS. Not Janice. Considering Justin’s “collapse” came just hours after he was wandering around London in a gas mask and having some kind of Twitter meltdown, what does this really mean?
The show must go on. Justin Bieber had a bit of a scare when he fainted mid-concert on Thursday, March 7, but he didn’t let that stop him from finishing the performance.
“Justin fainted onstage tonight during his concert in London when he fell short of breath,” the 19-year-old “Boyfriend” singer’s rep tells Us Weekly. “He left the stage for 20 minutes, then came back and finished the show. He is now on his way to a doctor to get checked out and see what is wrong.”
“He got oxygen from emergency personnel. He insisted on finishing the show,” his rep tells E!. “He is on the way to the hospital right now.”
Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, got on stage to explain to the crowd what was going on, according to YouTube videos of the show.
“Justin got very light of breath. The whole show he’s been complaining, and he’s backstage with the EMTs and the doctor,” Braun announced. “They’re telling him that they want him to go see somebody and see what’s going on with his lungs.”
Bieber then returned for a rousing ovation, continued the performance, before being taken to the hospital.
It is not yet known what caused the episode, but there’s no doubt it’s been a stressful week for the pop superstar. On Wednesday, March 6, Bieber took to Twitter to talk about rising above the drama and focusing on his loyal fans, a.k.a. Beliebers.
“I’m focused on the good things in life. I’m blessed and not forgetting it,” he wrote. Later, he added: “I will continue being me. I will continue to serve, to perform, to care, to love, to smile, to dance, to play, to sing…and you are welcome to join, because I carry no hate. We got too much love for that. I’m about the music.”
The singer, 19, collapsed on stage at London’s O2 arena on Thursday night after complaining of breathing problems throughout the performance.
Early Friday morning London time, he Tweeted: “getting better. thanks for everyone pulling me thru tonight. best fans in the world. figuring out what happened. thanks for the love”

Hunh… okay, now I do believe that his collapse might have been caused by some kind of legit medical problem, although that problem is probably more of the “smoking weed, drinking and not getting enough sleep because he’s partying so much and bangin’ so many girls in London” variety. Should we give him a collective side-eye for being such a drama queen, or should we applaud him for finishing the show even when he wasn’t feeling great? Eh. I barely care. This is just another chapter in what will become a larger story about this d-bag’s issues.
