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.
