A Justin Bieber fan grabbed the singer on stage in Dubai while he was performing. Although Justin wasn’t hurt, his piano was knocked over and was later on rendered unplayable.

Cellphone footage which is now circulating on video sites show security guards rushing to the stage to tackle the invader and later on, tried to reset the piano. The incident was dealt with quickly and Bieber continued on with the show as if nothing had happened.

Fans of the pop star were enraged when he turned up two hours late for both concerts in the same city. On Saturday, when he was supposed to start the show at 8pm, the organizers announced at 10pm that the singer was on his way.

According to the local news service Al Arabiya, many parents complained, as Sunday is a school day in the United Arab Emirates city.

 

DoneEvents Amg, the concert organisers apologised through their Facebook page saying:  "Recent shows on this tour have started late and so the artist was also later than scheduled in taking to the stage last night.

 

"We really empathise with the fans and their parents who were affected by the delay and to whom this might have caused some inconvenience. We know that many parents had to look after tired and exhausted children both at the stadium and I am sure this morning, as they try to get them up for school.

 

"All that said the fans who saw Justin in action loved the incredible show he put on and they left screaming with delight as chants for the superstar echoed around the stadium."
