Justin Bieber has informed his fans that he will not be taking his Purpose tour to Argentina on Monday. He unveiled the new in a series of posts where he expressed his regret about the situation which he clarified was his lawyer’s advice. He said on Twitter, “Argentinian beliebers I would like nothing more than to bring the #purposetour there but until the legal conditions change there I can’t.”
“If things were to change I would love to come but at this time I cannot. For everyone else in South America I look forward to seeing you.”
Bieber provided no definite explanation as to why he was not touring in Argentina, but there is no doubt that it has to do with Bieber’s ongoing legal issues stemming from an assault case back in 2013.
A judge issued an arrest warrant for the singer in order to question him about a criminal case involving one of his bodyguards allegedly assaulting a photographer. The arrest warrant was revoked last year, but according to TMZ, Justin’s team is concerned that the judge will change his mind if the star tries to renter the country because the case is still pending.
Judge Albert Julio Banos ordered the Canandian singer’s “immediate detention” because of a warrant stemming from an incident that occurred in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2013. His bodyguards, Hugo Alcides Hesny and Terrence Reche Smalls, were allegedly subject to the same warrant.
Photographers Diego Pensao accused Justin’s bodyguards of attacking him at a club in the country’s capital city. The judge additionally alleged that Bieber ordered the attack and his warrant came about because the singer never answered questions about the incident before leaving Argentina.
Justin Bieber’s Purpose tour moves from Montreal Toronto this week.
Is it too late now to say sorry?
