The teen idol showed the poise of an entertainment veteran beyond his years when he fought through a stomach illness that halfway through the concert saw him vomit twice on stage, forcing him to run off stage for several minutes both times. He returned the second time with his face in a towel, spilling apologies to the worried and mostly female audience who kept on singing in his absence.
'Right now this is really hard because I'm feeling really sick,' Bieber told the cheering crowd. 'It's not a great feeling when you're throwing up in front of a bunch of people. But you know, i feel comfortable enough with you, that I can be myself and you don't judge me'.
It would have been easy enough for the 18 Year old to cut short the schedule 20-song set. He may have the most forgiving, loving fans in show business. The more than 18,000 who watched him throw up the other night seemed to only care about his well-being, as Biebers discomfort was etched on his face.
He ran into trouble shortly after 'Beautiful', the sweet duet performed with fellow Canadian and tour opening act Carly Rae Jepsen. But just a few minutes after being sick he and his guitar climbed onto a crane that extended over the floor for two ballads, 'Be Alright' and 'Fall' from the Believe album. He threw up again during his hit 'Never Say Never', but came back pledging to give the audience the best concert they've ever seen.
And he wasn't a note or dance step off as he powered through the rest of the show.
