It was another club date in West Hollywood last night for Justin Bieber.
A few days before his Coachella show, Bieber put on a private show at the Troubadour in West Hollywood.
A week ago, he did the same thing up on Sunset Blvd. at the Roxy.
Like last week’s show, this one was composed entirely of songs from his “Swag” album. There were no hits like “Sorry” or “Peaches” or any of the tracks that made him famous.
Bieber is eschewing those titles that are now part of the catalog he sold in 2022 for $200 million to Hipgnosis Songs. It’s unclear if this is a statement about his career, or one about the sale.
Either way, fans who schlep out to Coachella probably shouldn’t expect to hear Bieber’s old hits unless, of course, he’s been rehearsing them at home.
Fans at the tiny Troubadour didn’t seem to care, at least from the videos Bieber’s posted to Instagram — which are interspersed with pictures of slippers.
Will he announce an actual tour next? Or just one off shows like these? Will he sing the songs people want to hear?
It’s a cliffhanger!
All this Justin Bieber and Kanye West action in Los Angeles makes me think — how can take this much culture? So glad these people don’t come to New York. We only have Lady Gaga at MSG and Sting at the Metropolitan Opera. How will we survive?
