Belieb me, I didn’t scrap Justin’s gigs

- BY SYLVIA POWNALL

Justin Bieber JUSTIN Bieber’s pastor says he is “not to blame” for the singer’s Purpose world tour cancellati­on.

The Canadian pop star, 23, announced he was axing the final leg of his gigs in July amid rumours his newfound Christian faith was the reason.

Now his confidant at the Hillsong Church, Pastor Carl Lentz, has appeared on US television and flatly denied it

He said: “Why would I want Beliebers mad at me? People who speculate like that don’t have any context of what it means to have a pastor or a friend and Justin made his own calls.

“He made his own decisions. It’s not my role to tell this boy, this man really, man of God, what to do.”
