Justin Bieber is currently on a tour of the UK following the release of his Purpose album.

So far he’s stopped singing during his Birmingham and Manchester gigs, to tell fans to ‘shut up’ and called them ‘obnoxious’ for screaming during his performances.

“Try and stay as quiet as possible. You can scream as much as you want afterwards but while I’m singing try and stay quiet.” The Canadian pop star told the crowd in Manchester. According to the Sun, Bieber apparently became irritated as he tried to explain the reasoning behind the title of his global tour, which he said was “because everyone in here has a purpose”. He then felt that the crowd didn’t care about what he had to say. He told the arena: “I just thought I could have a moment to say something. I can cut the b**s*** if you want. I’m trying to engage but if you guys don’t want to I’ll play the music.”

During his show at Birmingham’s Barclaycard Arena, the 22-year-old decided to tell his fans off for screaming. “Guys, can you do me a favour? Can you guys just relax for like two seconds? I’m like two feet away from you, I can hear you,” he said after one song.

He told the crowd in Birmingham: “I appreciate it, I appreciate all the love, it’s amazing, but can you show it in a different way? Screaming is just so obnoxious.”

He then went on to try and justify his outburst to his loyal fans, who turned up to see him: “Scream after the songs? Enjoy the songs, then scream, screaming is awesome. Screaming is fun.

“Then take a chill pill for a second and just listen to me speak. I don’t feel like I’m being heard some times and it gets a little frustrating. If, when I’m speaking, you guys could not scream at the top of your lungs. Is that cool with you guys?”

Some fans took to Twitter to express their upset at what Justin said. One fan and Hollyoaks star Nadine Mulkerrin tweeted: “(@nadinerose_x) We love your music but you are RUDE!!!!!!!!”

But others understood his rage and defended him. @revivalsbiebers tweeted “imagine having justin bieber wanting to interact with you but yet you decide to scream at him and force him to stop…..tragic”

However, this isn’t the first time that Bieber has had an altercation with his fans. Earlier this year he said he didn’t want fans to ask him for photos any more because they made him “feel like a zoo animal”.

The Canadian star will play two more dates at Manchester Arena on Saturday and Sunday night.
