Justin Bieber brings Purpose World Tour to Toronto

Fresh off a show at Montreal's Bell Centre, Justin Bieber is in Toronto on Wednesday for the fifth Canadian stop of his sold-out Purpose World Tour.

While his famously devout fans have packed the Air Canada Centre to hear Bieber's critically hailed new tunes, the singer is performing under the shadow of some odd behaviour of late, including a (tiny) face tattoo and a statement on Instagram about his refusal toindulge fan photo requests.

Earlier this year, he cancelled fan meet and greets saying they left him feeling "exhausted to the point of depression."
