Justin Bieber fans beg him to cancel London gig after Manchester attack

Fans of the Christian pop star Justin Bieber are begging him to pull out of his forthcoming London gig in the open air Hyde Park venue in July.

Bieber fans are frightened for the star's safety, and the safety of his fans, after Ariane Grande's concert was targeted. She has now suspended her own world tour.

After his manager Scooter Braun posted a message of grief for the victims of the Manchester suicide bombing, Bieber fans overwhelmed the Instagram account with messages begging him to cancel his concert in London's Hyde Park.
