Justin Bieber Determined to Show Up in Sydney Concerts Despite Back Pains


Justin Bieber is determined not to disappoint his fans in Australia as he insisted to go on stage despite back pains that have been killing him since he touched down in Brisbane.

The 17-year old teen sensation has a show in Sydney Wednesday evening for his sold-out concert Thursday evening at Acer Arena.

The teen singer had reportedly sought for medical treatment as soon as he got off the plane Wednesday afternoon for his sore back in preparations for Thursday show.

"He's all about his fans and was saying he didn't care what anyone was telling him to do," a source was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph.

A spokeswoman for Frontier Touring according to The Daily Telegraph, said that are waiting for Bieber’s management team to give them the word if the teen sensation will show up in his Sydney concert for two consecutive days.

But chances are Bieber would again defy his doctor’s advice.

He was first told not to go on stage for his Brisbane show but went to perform for his fans anyway.The singer even received rave reviews both from 12,000 fans and his critics.

Justin touched down 90 minutes before the Brisbane show Tuesday night after some plane trouble during his trip from Indonesia before heading to Australia.

"Crazy 24 hours of travel ... back is messed up ... but we are smiling. We finally made it. AUSTRALIA we are here," Justin tweeted as soon as his plane landed in Brisbane.

Before the show started, the singer was reportedly examined by a doctor and a chiropractor - - and both advised him not to perform - - but the “Never Say Never” hitmaker pushed himself to the delight of his screaming fans.

Justin Bieber v Bob Dylan: Has the Biebs got what it takes to take out the Master?


ONE is lionised as the songwriter of his generation while the other faces the challenge of keeping a generation of fans after they grow up.

Both the master Bob Dylan and the apprentice Justin Bieber will inspire fanatic devotion among their many admirers when they perform in Sydney this week.

Fresh from his acclaimed sets at the annual Bluesfest in Byron Bay, Dylan performs two concerts at the Sydney Entertainment Centre from tonight while Bieber will stage a two-night stand at Acer Arena from tomorrow.

While Dylan's Baby Boomer fans may express their adulation with vigorous cheering and applause, you can count on your ears ringing from the piercing screams that will greet Bieber's every move.

Bieber fever shocked Sydney a year ago when thousands of hysterical tweens and teens unexpectedly arrived at the Overseas Passenger Terminal for a television appearance and later caused mayhem at Sunrise's Martin Place studios where police cancelled a show for safety reasons.

Since then, armed with a debut record My World 2.0 Bieber has become as much a social media star as he has a chart-topper - his fans have downloaded more than 24 million singles and his YouTube videos have been viewed at least 1.5 billion times.

Like Lady Gaga, he is rewriting the pop rule book and knows a few daily Twitter or Facebook updates have more power to keep the fan fires burning than radio playing his breakthrough hit Baby three times a day.

"AUSTRALIA ... we are coming ... and there might be some surprises," he posted at the weekend with a link to his song Next 2 You featuring Chris Brown, also touring Australia.

Some fans have even coerced their parents into spruiking for hotel rooms to get closer to Bieber as well as for tickets which range from $95 to $285 for the Bieber Fever Ultimate VIP package.

Dylan fans also paid $95 for their Sydney Entertainment Centre cheap seats, with the front rows costing just $175 to see a living legend perform classics including Like A Rolling Stone, A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall and Tangled Up In Blue.

Of course their extras for the evening will include dinner and drinks. The Beliebers will buy T-shirts, iPod skins, dog tags, towels, bracelets, tracksuit pants and a teddy bear.
