In a fortnight which saw the 19-year-old singer cancel a concert, left short of breath at London's O2 and swear at a photographer, he was forced to deny on Instagram that he's going into rehab. Bieber added he had done nothing to deserve the negative publicity surrounding his European tour.

Justin Bieber added: "All this isn't easy. I get angry sometimes. I'm human. I'm gonna make mistakes. In gonna grow and get better from them. But all the love from you guys overcomes the negativity."

He said: "If anyone believes I need rehab that's their own stupidity lol I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world.

"19 and I've accomplished more than I could've ever dreamed of, I'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning."

The Sun reported that in an earlier post, which the singer later removed, Bieber said he was no Lindsey Lohan: "And to those comparing me to LINDSAY LOHAN look at her 2012 tax statements.”
