Here’s something fans can look forward to in welcoming 2021 – Justin Bieber is returning to the stage to perform his first full concert in three years!
The New Year’s Eve concert, titled T-Mobile Presents New Year’s Eve Live with Justin Bieber,
will be available to stream for free for the T-Mobile customers – but fans can also purchase access starting Tuesday (December 9).
“I’ve worked with T-Mobile for a long time — they’re such a fun brand, and we’re working on more surprises to watch out for during this special night,” Justin said in a press release. “I can’t wait to partner on this epic New Year’s Eve concert with them, and give everyone a safe way to kick 2020 out the door, together.”
The Biebs’ last concert was his Purpose World Tour, which culminated in 2017. However, he hasn’t completely stopped performing live. He’s hit the stage a few times since to perform – like when he made a surprise appearance in Ariana Grande’s 2018 Coachella set, and, most recently, at the 2020 American Music Awards.
Justin also recently received four GRAMMY nominations – Best Pop Solo Performance for “Yummy,” Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Intentions,” Best Pop Vocal Album for Changes and, Best Country Duo/Group Performance for his “10,000 Hours” collab with Dan+ Shay.
However, while he’s thankful for everyone who lobbied for his GRAMMY campaign, he expressed disappointment about the categories he was recognized in.
“I am flattered to be acknowledged and appreciated for my artistry. I am very meticulous and intentional about my music,” the singer wrote. “With that being said, I set out to make an R&B album. Changes was and is an R&B album. I grew up admiring R&B music and wished to make a project that would embody that sound.”
“For this not to be put in that category feels weird considering from the chords to the melodies to the vocal style all the way down to the hip hop drums that were chosen it is undeniably, unmistakably an R&B Album!” he continued. “To be clear I absolutely love pop music it just wasn’t what I set out to make this time around. My gratitude for feeling respected for my work remains and I am honored to be nominated either way.”
