当地时间7月24日，加拿大歌手贾斯汀·比伯(Justin Bieber)的经济公司突然宣布，由于一些“不可预见的因素”，比伯将取消原定的“Purpose”世界巡回演唱会剩余场次。自2016年3月以来，Justin Bieber已在世界各地进行了150余场巡演，而未来三个月内还有原定14场演出将在亚洲和北美地区举办。比伯方发布的官方声明写道，经过慎重考虑，比伯决定将不再继续剩余巡演。已经出售的票将做退票处理。

以下是发布在比伯官方脸书平台的声明全文：

“由于一些不可预见的因素，贾斯汀•比伯将取消原定的"Purpose"世界巡回演唱会剩余演出。贾斯汀爱他的粉丝，不愿令其失望。他很感激在过去18个月的巡演期间能够与粉丝共度一段美好的时光，也很荣幸能够与所有演职人员通力合作，完成了在6大洲的150多场成功演出。但经过慎重考虑，贾斯汀决定将不再继续进行巡演。已经出售的票将做退票处理。”

此前，北京文化局表示，由于其“不良行为”，已经禁止比伯来华演出。

Pop singer Justin Bieber has abruptly canceled the remaining Purpose World Tour because of "unforeseen circumstances," just days after he was banned from performing in China due to his bad behaviors.

The cancellation will affect 14 dates in Asia and North America and ticket holders will get refunds, according to a statement from his management.

"Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them," the statement reads. 

"However, after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase."

The 23-year-old Canadian superstar made no comment on his social media, but celebrity news website T.M.Z. reported that Bieber called off the shows because he is "just over it."

The Purpose World Tour began in March 2016 and has grossed more than 256 million US dollars, according to data from music tour trade publication Pollstar. Bieber has so far performed more than 150 shows across Europe, Africa, South America, Australia and parts of Asia.

China last week announced that Bieber was unwelcome to perform in the country due to his misbehavior.

"Justin Bieber is a talented yet controversial young foreign singer. As far as we know, as a celebrity, he frequently misbehaves in his social life and concert performances, which aggrieved the public," said the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture on its official website.

To regulate the domestic performance market and purify the environment, performers who frequently misbehave in public are deemed inappropriate to be allowed into China, said the bureau.

Bieber, who broke into stardom in 2008 as a 14-year-old boy, has had numerous run-ins with police around the world and has become notorious for a string of scandals in recent years.
