Beliebers from all over the world were devastated when news of cancelation of Justin Bieber's Purpose World Tour, has been announced this Tuesday.

Following the cancelation, a statement from Justin's publicist surfaced the internet saying "Justin Bieber has cancelled the rest of his Purpose World Tour because of "unforeseen circumstances"

The cancelation of Tour will affect 14 dates in Asia and North America over the next three months.

From March 2016, Justin Bieber has performed for more than 150 shows since the tour promoting his 2015 album, 'Purpose', began.

The tour earned $93.2m (£71.5m) in the first half of 2017, with an average of almost 40,000 ticket sales per date.

However, the singer himself has not yet commented on the decision on social media, but unnamed sources told US media he was "just over it".

But a statement on his website read: "Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them."

The statement continued in saying: "He is grateful and honored to have shared that experience with his cast and crew for over 150 successful shows across six continents during this run. However, after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase."

Shortly after announcing his tour cancellation, Bieber was spotted near Santa Monica beach by TMZ. He told the media outlet he plans on "just resting, getting some relaxation. We're gonna ride some bikes."

Most of Justin Bieber's remaining dates were in the US, but he was also due to play in Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore and Indonesia.

Meanwhile, Chinese officials said last week that the Canadian pop star had been banned from mainland China because he had engaged in what they described as "bad behavior".

Bieber's decision comes a few weeks after British singer Adele cancelled the last two shows of her world tour on medical advice after damaging her vocal cords.
