Justin Bieber released a statement regarding his tour cancellation.

The 23-year-old singer recently shocked the fans with the cancellation of the remaining 14 concerts of his 'Purpose World Tour'. On Wednesday (August 2), however, he spoke up on Instagram with a longer explanation and told his fans how grateful he was for them, especially in tough times. In the message he wrote: "I am so thankful for this trip with all of you ... I am thankful for the tours, but most of all I am thankful for going through this life WITH YOU! Learning and growing was not Always easy, but knowing that I am not alone has kept me going. Sometimes I have allowed my insecurity to keep me from doing my best. I have allowed broken relationships the way I do behaved towards people and dictated how I treated them. I let bitterness, jealousy and fear rule my life !!!! "

He added to the emotional statement that he was fully aware that he "will never be perfect" and "will continue to make mistakes", but will in no way allow his future to be influenced by his past. He wants to "learn from his mistakes" and "not be ashamed of it." In addition, the tour was "incredible" for him - it had helped him learn about himself. In addition to the revelation regarding his very personal insights, he also gave the fans the important reason why he would really need the break: "The fact that I am taking the time right now is because I want to be FUTURE-PROOF .. I want that my career is future-proof, but I also want my mind [and] heart to be future-proof. "
