Jon Bon Jovi slams Justin Bieber over late stage appearances

Jon Bon Jovi has lambasted Justin Bieber for turning up late on stage.

The Canadian made headlines earlier this year when he was hours late for a headline show at London's O2 Arena.

He then repeated the tardiness in the United Arab Emirates in May - something which the Bon Jovi singer believes is one step too far. He told the London Evening Standard:

"Every generation has guys that do that, none of that is new. They run the risk of disrespecting their audience members who have worked hard to pay for their ticket, to give you the permission to take two or three hours of their lives - or in that kid's case, 80 minutes of their lives."

The US singer continued: "Do it once, you can be forgiven. Do it enough times and shame on you. They won't have you back. Then it just becomes a cliche. It's really not cool - you're an a**hole. Go to f**kin' work!"
