Justin Bieber was interviewed about why he abruptly walked off stage during his last concert. A fan video showed Bieber repeatedly asking fans to stop throwing water and grabbing at his ankles during the show. Bieber explained he was trying to clean up the mess but fans wouldn't listen. The pressure and lack of personal space from fans became too much, so despite not wanting to, he cancelled the rest of the show. Bieber apologized to his true fans for letting them down.
