Justin Bieber is gearing up for a comeback at Coachella — and there’s a helluva lot on the line for the former teen heartthrob.
He’ll headline both Saturdays, April 11 and 18, at the Indio, California, festival, and recently gave 500 fans a glimpse of what to expect with an intimate warm-up show at The Roxy in West Hollywood.
“This has been so beautiful. It’s a little sneak preview into Coachella, which is gonna be so much fun,” he told the small crowd.
But it’s been a slow burn to get Bieber back into the spotlight. In recent years, the 32-year-old has exhibited physical and mental woes — from crying in social media videos to worrying weight loss and temporary facial paralysis — as the toll of childhood fame has weighed heavily on him, even impacting his marriage to Hailey Bieber.
“People keep telling me to heal … Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?” the star posted online last summer following rants at the paparazzi. “I know I’m broken. I know I have anger issues.”
And last month he was pictured flinging a bottle of water at a cameraman during a date night with Hailey.
His most recent tour, in 2022, was cut short after he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a disorder that left him unable to control one side of his face in 2022. And 14 dates of his 2017 tour were canceled as he struggled with mental health issues.
