Justin Bieber cancels fan meet and greets as they leave him “drained” and “unhappy”

” I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression.”

Justin Bieber has cancelled all fan meet and greets, claiming they leave him feeling “drained” and “depressed”.

Posting on Facebook, Bieber explained: “I’m going to be canceling my meet and greets. I enjoy meeting such incredible people but I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people’s spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy.

“[I] Want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense and I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression

“The pressure of meeting people’s expectations of what I’m supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders. Never want to disappoint but I feel I would rather give you guys the show and my albums as promised. Can’t tell you how sorry I am, and wish it wasn’t so hard on me.”
