We were with Justin Bieber fans in La Plata when he announced he wasn’t coming

Today morning, as time passed and the uncertainty of his fans felt, the feelings were mixed. On the one hand, there were 32 tents arranged one behind the other waiting for the appointment with Justin Bieber, this Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 September at the Estadio Unico de La Plata.

“We have been waiting for it for 9 years!” indicates Naiara, who arrived from Avellaneda two weeks ago to stay in her tent, number 24. As the rumors of the cancellation of the shows grew, the atmosphere was of concern but at the same time of hope. “There is nothing officially confirmed, we will wait for it.

The rumors emerged a few weeks ago on social media and were strengthening with the passing of the days. The tour that would bring him back to our country after 9 years from his last visit, committed him to visit different countries of our continent. Brazil, Chile and Argentina, including a visit to Rock In Rio

However, despite the rumors, the Canadian singer performed at the big Brazilian festival in front of thousands of people. “He has already played in Brazil, so he has to come!” They said excitedly before the sad news was confirmed.

The disappointment of the fans

The confirmation came shortly after noon: a statement from Justin himself that he had to cancel the entire tour to recover. The local producer quickly explained how the tickets will be returned.

“Are you surprised? I’m not surprised,” argues a group of fans while consoling each other. What a few minutes ago was experienced as an atmosphere of brotherhood, as if there were among them a pact not to believe any of the rumors, now it was experienced as a moment of desolation and sadness.

In tears, some begin to gather their things. The tents, which have just given them a privileged place in the show, now they were useless.

The reasons for the cancellation: your health. In the official statement, the artist indicates that she will take a break from the stage, despite her trying to be present: “After leaving the stage, fatigue overwhelmed me and I realized that I have to prioritize my health right now. So for now, I’ll take a break from the tour. I’ll be fine, but I need time to rest and improve. “

“If it’s for his health, we’ll respect him.” Although their faces indicate otherwise, they are convinced that this fanaticism will not end. And it must be said that in the case of the Canadian singer there have been several disappointments.

Health problems

In recent months, the singer’s health conditions have raised concern among his followers. In June, he shared a post alerting his followers. With his face frozen, unable to blink and unable to smile, he announced that he would have to cancel some of his Justice Tour dates.

“I wanted to update you on what happened. Obviously, as you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it is because of this virus that attacks my ear nerve and my facial nerves and paralyzed my face, “said the pop star 28 years, in a video she chose to share on her Instagram account.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is characterized by a painful rash around the ear, on the face, or in the mouth. It occurs when the varicella-zoster virus affects a nerve in the head, sometimes causing paralysis.

July 31 was the day chosen to resume the tour accompanying one of his most successful albums of his career, in the city of Italy. And it would be Latin America’s turn. Or at least, that’s what they thought.

Bieber and Argentina: disagreements

The relationship between Justin Bieber and our country is a story of disagreements. Whoever has accompanied the artist from the beginning of his career knows this. Quarrels, complaints and cancellations make the artist one of the most questioned by the Argentine public.

In 2013, the visit to our country was quite controversial. In principle, the confrontation he provoked in the INK bowling alley, which led him to have a lawsuit.

In turn, on that same tour it happened the flag incident. The image is clear: the artist uses the boom of the microphone to sweep the floor with the albiceleste. The incident was later cleared up by himself, indicating that he would never do such a thing and that what he did was perform this shirt that was thrown at him so that it didn’t cause any problems for the dancers on stage.

In 2017 he could not land in our country, due to his legal situation, with his acclaimed tour “Purpose Tour”. Leaving his followers the opportunity to go to Chile or Brazil, countries he has visited or miss the meeting with his idol him.

Despite everything, they are still there. Supporting him in every song, saving for tickets to his shows, and even camping out for weeks leaving his comforts aside. There are several disappointments but, despite the resignation on their faces, there are. Because as the old saying goes, what does the tiger do one more point.
