Justin Bieber Fearful of Fan Crushes

Justin Bieber can no longer perform at concert venues without seats for fear of fans being seriously injured.

Bieber fans have forced the ‘Never Say Never’ singer’s management to put their foot down and refuse to book the star at any arenas or other venues with standing-room only space.

Bieber’s bodyguard, Kenneth Hamilton, recently told Rolling Stone that he fears for some of the young fans’ safety, saying “You’ve got a mob pushing, and even if it’s little girls, they’re crawling on top of each other with their arms and elbows, and getting injured.”

Safety and security issues regarding fans’ ‘fever’ for Bieber have been an issue for quite some time. Last April, a Bieber concert in Sydney was cancelled after fans broke down a crowd barrier and stampeded forward, crushing young fans against the stage.
In December, Bieber had to stop a fan fight in Pittsburgh, after several girls fought over a towel he threw into the audience.

Bieber has even had his own brushes with fans and had to escape on a segway from a mob of girls chasing him before a concert last summer in Glendale, Ariz. Most recently, over-zealous fans became frantic, even sending death threats, when Grammy winner Esperanza Spalding beat out Bieber in the Best New Artist category. His rumored girlfriend, singer Selena Gomez, has also received similar threats from fans via Twitter.

The new restriction may also put an end to some of Bieber’s smaller appearances, including CD signings, which the artist has cancelled in the past for security reasons.

Management has reportedly confirmed all seated venues for Bieber’s upcoming My World tour in Europe, which kicks off in the UK on March 4.
