The big news in LA this weekend was the Paul McCartney shows at the Fonda Theater.
Less glitzy was Justin Bieber rehearsing for Coachella with a private show at the Roxy music club on Sunset Boulevard.
Bieber performed a set of 25 songs, almost all live debuts, with no hits like “Peaches” or “Sorry” or “Love Yourself” or any of the catalog he sold recently for $200 million. He doesn’t own the rights to those songs anymore, and probably doesn’t want to pay for them to be performed. It was all “Swag” material, which should go over like the proverbial lead balloon at Coachella. (There’s nothing better than a pop star’s show with songs no one cares about.)
Strange? Yes. Also Bieber, looking like a scrawny ad for a tattoo parlor, was shirtless. (He always looks like he smells bad.) He brought his cosmetics queen wife Hailey and baby Jack, who is no longer being hidden from photographers.
According to Spotify, Bieber was the 16th most streamed artist this weekend.
Bieber’s Coachella show is April 9th. Last night’s rehearsal was his first real show in four years, not counting his nearly naked turn at the Grammy Awards.

Late to post but Justin Bieber had a private LA show. No phones allowed and his son jack was in attendance with Hailey…. Fomo is real! I’ve been dreaming of seeing Justin since I was 5. I’m 22 now so 17 years and counting until I cross seeing Justin perform off my bucket list https://t.co/ZcMZnwYLk8
