Las Vegas Beliebers will have to wait till June to see Justin Bieber on his Justice World Tour.
On Saturday, it was announced that Justin Bieber's Sunday show in Las Vegas is being postponed due to a coronavirus outbreak within Bieber's team.
"Due to positive COVID results within the Justice Tour family, we will, unfortunately, have to postpone Sunday's show in Las Vegas," an account the Justice World Tour said in a statement on Instagram. "Justin is, of course, hugely disappointed, but the health and safety of his crew and fans is always his number one priority."
The performance has been rescheduled for June 28 and tickets for the original show will be honored. Those who wish to be refunded for Sunday's show will be able to obtain a refund at the point of purchase, per the statement.
A representative for Bieber later confirmed to ET that it was in fact the 27-year-old singer who tested positive for the virus, adding, that he "is feeling okay."
The Justice World Tour, which was originally set to kick off in March 2020, has been postponed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
