SINGER’S FEELING DOWN IN DUMPS
JUSTIN Bieber is planning to take a break from pop music in order to backpack around the world.
The controversial Canadian wants to bugger off around the globe student-style to go find his “true spirituality”.
I’m told the Biebs is fed-up having his every move scrutinised – especially following this week’s punch-up with a fan.
The Marmite singer has been telling friends he wants to go M.I.A. from the showbiz scene.
My US source said: “Justin has been really feeling the pressure in the last few weeks.
“He still loves performing for his fans and creating, but this tour has been a little like a pressure cooker.
“He’s already stopped meet and greets and pictures with fans but he is still feeling stifled.
“He has talked about getting away from it all, seeing the wider world and relaxing.
“The idea is for him to travel the world seeing some of the greatest cities and exotic places around like a backpacker would.
“But obviously with an unlimited budget of a multi-millionaire.”
Justin’s weekly roller-coaster career ride hit another low this week when he swung a punch at a 6ft 5in autograph hunter.
According to claims by manmountain Lamont Richmond, 5ft 9in JB launched a flurry of punches. after shouting: “No autographs tonight mother***ker.”
Justin was then floored by the American before the fight was stopped. My source added: “Justin is one of the biggest stars in the world but wants to live a normal life for a while.
“He’s become very religious and spiritual lately and wants to touch base with his soul and true spiritual being.
“On the top of his hit list is walking the Inca Trail in Peru, South America, and visiting the Buddhist monasteries in Tibet.”
So it seems JB’s teary fans will soon be tweeting him with his own lyrics, ‘Where Are U Now?’
But not before his Purpose World Tour comes to an end this November in London.
Which gives him plenty of time to shave his head and suffer a Britney Spears- style breakdown before he heads off into the sunset.
That way he’ll look right at home in Tibet!
