Justin Bieber Confirms Japan Tour Dates Despite Crew Concerns

By Kelly Fisher Posted May 9th 2011 09:05AM

Justin Bieber is headed to Japan, despite reports that the pop star had canceled tour dates due to radiation fears.

According to OK! Magazine, Bieber's tour crew was reportedly wary about traveling to Japan after the recent earthquake and tsunami sparked radiation concerns.

However, Bieber vowed not to let his adoring fans down and took to Twitter on Sunday to confirm the final shows of the Asian part of his 'My World' tour.

"5 shows left of this leg of the #myworldtour! Manila, Hong Kong, Taipei, Osaka and Tokyo! Like I said...we are going to JAPAN! #supportjapan," he tweeted.

According to TMZ, Bieber's tour manager Scooter Braun told the concert crew to "Man the f**k up and do the right thing by these kids" when several members refused to travel to disaster-ridden country.

Avril Lavigne and Slash have both canceled upcoming shows in Japan, but the Japanese government has given Bieber an "all clear" to perform in both Osaka and Tokyo later this month.

Bieber-you are a puss, have a 12 year old's body and think you are better than you really are. I hope your band abandons you cause you are just not worth it. Without Usher, you'd be nothing. Jaden Smith makes you look sick!!!

J.B. Most certainly is not adult enough to make these decisions ! This is why HE needs to listen to his manager,and BAND ! For pete's sake if his band won't go..it means he doesn't TRUST them, if he DOESN"T trust them..fire them ! Hire a bunch of IDIOT'S that will play and GO ! PLAY TO SEE A STUPID KNUCKLE HEAD....NOT !!!

Bieber is just a kid. How can some of you be such aholes picking on such a young man??? Jealous? I think it's great that you are so loyal to your fans, but if you were my kid I would be fighting you every step of the way not to go.

I am not a Justin Biber fan and tend to make a joke here and there about him (mostly for fun), but you gotta give him credit on this one. What a great guy. This is how these mega celebrities should be. It shows he really does take his career seriously and truly cares for his fans. He is using his celebrity for a good cause, when Janpan, right now can really use the help, if for anything just to brighten some people's moods for 2 hours. Never thought I would say this, but Justin, I stand up and applaud you.
