Justin Bieber seemingly wants to make a huge career comeback but financial struggles are getting in the way.
In 2023, he sold rights to his catalog for $200 million, the Los Angeles Times reported.
A source close to Puck News' Matthew Belloni revealed that Hailey Bieber’s husband “needs the money and wants to work” after a long career break.
He also claimed that the Peaches crooner, 28, “still owes” the touring company AEG “a ton for his canceled tour” in March of 2023.
Justin reportedly has a hot of “other pop star expenses” weighing on his bottom line. His last studio album, Justice, was released in 2021.
Previously, the Grammy-winning singer had to cancel shows on the tour in the fall of 2022 after battling Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome.
He explained the situation in an Instagram Story, “Earlier this year, I went public with my battle with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, where my face was partially paralyzed. As a result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North American leg of the Justice Tour.”
The Baby artist announced, “So I'm going to take a break from touring for the time being. I'm going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better.”
Notably, ever since then he has been on a hiatus from work.
