Justin Bieber greeted his fans Sunday morning (March 10) with a candid message on Instagram in which he admitted that he’s “struggling.”
“Just wanted to keep you guys updated a little bit,” Bieber wrote, adding that “hopefully what I’m going through will resonate with you guys.”
“Been struggling a lot. Just feeling super disconnected and weird.. I always bounce back so I’m not worried just wanted to reach out and ask for your guys to pray for me. God is faithful and ur prayers really work thanks .. the most human season I’ve ever been in facing my stuff head on,” he said. His note was accompanied by a throwback photo of himself, Scooter Braun and Kanye West.
Bieber spoke about his struggle with depression in his and wife Hailey’s recent cover interview with Vogue.
“I got really depressed on tour,” Bieber told the magazine of his last set of concert dates, 2016-2017’s Purpose World Tour. “I haven’t talked about this, and I’m still processing so much stuff that I haven’t talked about. I was lonely. I needed some time.”
“My mom was depressed a lot of my life and my dad has anger issues,” the singer also revealed in the interview. “Stuff that they passed on that I’m kind of mad they gave me.”
