News anchor: Justin Bieber says he is canceling
the rest of his world tour.
Female Anncr: Justin Bieber announced that the remaining
dates of his, "Purpose" world tour would be canceled.
- All we know is that he's going through a lot, that's it.
Gail: People think he's having issues,
seems to be falling in another dark place.
Female Anncr: Reason given by his team in a statement cites,
"unforeseen circumstances."
- I mean, I hope he's okay.
Justin: All right, here we go.
I'm Justin.
I am from Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
I am, ah, an artist.
I make music.
Um, I started making music when I was really young.
It helped me escape from a lot of things
that I felt like I was going through at the time
or that I was going through at the time.
And I am excited to share
my journey with you.
So... come and check it out.
Can I do that again?
- Yeah, that was perfect.
Justin: I think I'm getting
a little bit in my head about it.
We are going to Stratford to see my hometown,
because it's awesome.
And I haven't showed anybody since, ah,
the "Never Say Never" movie.
My first favorite documentary.
Allison: Oh wow, are you going to sing on some steps or...
Justin: Yeah, we're-- we're making a new documentary
right now and ah...
Allison: Justin B is leaving Stratford.
Justin: We're going back to Stratford,
and hopefully there's someone there playing the violin,
so I can go and drop her some cash.
I want to spot your dreams, okay?
Busking girl: Okay.
Justin: All right.
We're going to go and check out the spot where I used to play,
it's over here by these steps, with my wife, she's in the back.
Hailey: Hi.
Justin: She makes everything better.
You may everything better, babe.
Hailey: Thank you, baby.
Justin: Check it, check it.
There's the star, and that was put there July 1st, 2011.
It's now... 2019.
So that was eight years ago.
So I'd sit here and play here.

Scooter: No one has ever grown up in the history of
humanity like Justin Bieber.
No one has ever been that famous worldwide in an
era of social media where every year of your adolescence
you were the most Googled person on the planet.
Justin: Oh, I went to that school.
Jumped the fence one time there.
Got suspended.
Hailey: You know, starting out as a boy in front
of the entire world and then transforming into
a young adult, a teenager, and then like a young man,
and everybody's had to watch him go through every single
phase of life essentially from, I don't know, 14, 15,
and now he's really an adult.
Justin: So this is it.
Hailey: Oh, yeah, I remember.
Justin: This is like the apartment I grew up in.
Justin: Yeah-ha.
I would have never thought that in a million years.
What up, man.
- What's going on?
Justin: How are you?
Hailey: He has gone through so much in the last three years,
four years since his last album came out,
and he came out on the other side of some really dark times.
He still is who he is, and that's why people are
drawn to him, because he has a story to tell.
Justin: Yo.
Can you buzz us in?
[Buzzing]
This was so shitty down here.
Hailey: [Laughs]
Scooter: You know, early on in his career we'd always say,
let's go for another one, let's go for another one,
another hit, another record, another thing, another tour.
Before "Purpose" with "Journals,"
I didn't want him to tour, I wanted him to get healthy.
And then he got healthy and we went on "Purpose,"
and then at the end he was tired and said,
look, I needed a break again.
And we took the break,
and he's taken a very long break.
And in that time he's found his wife.
He's grown a lot.
I don't put any pressure on that timeline anymore.
He's earned the right to do it in his own time.
Justin: I used to tell my friends, because I was, like,
ashamed that I lived in like such a low poverty standards.
I used to tell people, yeah, there's a bowling alley
downstairs and stuff.
[Chuckles]
It's booked, it's booked up right now but...
That's it...
That's it.
Hailey: Anything different?
The floors?
Justin: Yeah-ha.
I think it was bigger.
I don't think we ever showed this in "Never Say Never,"
but it was where I-- it was the first apartment building
where I lived here for like 10 years.
Brings back a lot of memories.
Scooter: I remember the day where he said he didn't
want to keep going, and it was a very tough one.
He just wanted to get away and feel normal and needed
a break from it all.
Allison: I freaked out, um, when Justin canceled the tour.
Performing is the thing that he loves most in this world,
and so, for him to say that he didn't want to do it,
I knew it had to be pretty serious.
Ryan: Having a constant stimulation like that and
experiencing 50,000 people chanting and just anywhere
you go having all this attention brought up, you know,
your brain actually gets worn out from that,
where the standard levels of Dopamine just
don't get you excited anymore.
Allison: They have so much fun, but it's also
very isolating.
And until you wake up in a city and you don't remember
where you are, you can't really understand how hard it is.
Justin: I think that being human is,
is challenging for everybody.
I think that we're all struggling to some degree.
We all have our individual pains and fears
and anxieties, worries.
Ryan: There was a six-month period where it was
really tough for him, really dark.
I saw him in a lot of ways that just really broke my heart.
This last year at Coachella when Ariana was headlining,
she invited him to come up and do a song with her.
Anncr: Just one song--
[Crowd cheering]
Ryan: Justin was going back and forth whether it was
the right time or not.
I think Scooter was thinking he should have this opportunity
to go out on that stage so he could be reminded
himself of who he is and, like, what he does.
Ariana: I wasn't going to bring any guests out tonight,
but my friend Justin Bieber came over...
[Crowd cheering]
to spend some time with y'all.

I haven't been on stage in, like, in like two years.
So thank you so much.
Ryan: It kind of seemed like a turning point for him
to where he was like, I think I'm ready to do this again,
I think I need to do this again.
[Crowd cheering]
Justin: And by the way, album coming soon.
[Crowd cheering]
Ryan: As he was walking off stage he said that to Allison,
he's like, I need to get back out here.
Allison: I want you to schedule me.
He's like, I want to go to the studio and I want to dance and
I want to go to the gym and I want vocal warm ups in there
and I want-- like, he wanted me to build him
a rolling itinerary like I do when he's working.
And the second that he asked to actually put the time in,
I was like, oh okay, now, we're ready to go back to work.
Justin: My life is changing a lot.
Getting married, getting back in the studio.
Talking about getting married, like, just writing
about the process and just being creative with
being in this new chapter, and being happy about
what I'm doing and not like, I don't know,
just being in a good head space.
Better head space.

I think what's been challenging over the years is
a lot of the times I'd make music and it would be for me.
When the focus and goal is about yourself,
you kind of tend to lose your purpose in that.
I think the older that I get the more I realize that,
um, I'm not utilizing my gift I feel for the right reasons.
This isn't about me, it's about helping someone who's
going through whatever they're going through and being
able to talk about that thing.
I think that's a really cool way to look at what I do.

Hailey: I love to see him do what he loves.
Honestly, I feel like I'm here to cheer him on and support him.
The last time around when he was doing the "Purpose" album,
I was around for a lot of that,
but definitely not as intimately.
Justin: Oh, good to see you, bro.
- Good to see you too.
Justin: I like your jacket.
- Thanks, man.
Hailey: I love to see him do what he is so good at.
Wee-hee-hee.
There's a lot of pressure and there's a lot of things
on artists and musicians specifically that I think
people don't get to see, because they're not
around for the full process.
Justin: So what have we got up right now?
Hailey: So me being somebody who isn't a musician and,
you know, is not involved in music in that way,
watching it, I have a whole new found respect for Justin
as well as other artists who just put their blood, sweat,
and tears into their craft.
Justin: When you are doing what you are good at,
like you just feel like you're where you're supposed to be.
I'm the best in the studio or like on stage than
I am anywhere else.
All right, this is how we do it.
