“Justin Bieber is currently TWO hours late (and counting) for his own concert. Young fans are leaving as it’s so late,” The Mirror reporter James Robertson wrote on Twitter.
He later added: “Bieber update: He’s decided to show up. Is the arena curfew 11pm? Crowd were booing and last tube is around midnight.”
Meanwhile, Joanne Dorken of MTV News tweeted that there were “literally kids in tears on the tube after parents made them leave to get last trains”, calling it “heartbreaking stuff”.
Bieber tweeted his own 35 million Twitter followers in the lead up to the show that he was thrilled to be performing in the UK capital. and told fans to “get ready.”
The O2’s official Twitter account posted at 10.36pm: “Justin Bieber is now on stage and apologises for the lateness of his show.
