Canadian superstar Justin Bieber will not face a hefty fine from Greenwich Council over his late-running show at London's O2 Arena on Monday (March 4).

Recent reports stated that 'Baby' singer Bieber was likely to be billed £300,000 by the borough after a delayed appearance at the venue in the UK capital earlier this week.  

The reports stated that all shows at the O2 Arena must end by 11pm, and Bieber would be fined £10,000 for each minute he appeared on stage after that curfew.

However, the council confirmed in a statement today that this will not be the case: “The Royal Borough of Greenwich has not taken any action against the owners of The O2 in relation to Justin Bieber’s recent performance, as no breach of our licensing conditions took place. It is simply a contractual issue between AEG and the artist involved, as there is no requirement for performances to finish by 11pm.

The statement added: "The O2 is the world’s most popular entertainment venue and sells over two million tickets each and every year as it plays host to many of the world’s biggest names. We take any complaints made in relation to the venue very seriously, but it is an urban myth to suggest that we have ever levied a fine in relation to a performance there.”

After disappointing fans with his "disgusting" behaviour on Monday, Bieber turned up two minutes early for the second night of his London tour schedule yesterday (March 5).

The O2 expressed their relief at the star's punctuality, writing on their official Twitter page: "We are happy to report that Justin Bieber made it on stage two minutes early this evening. Phew…(sic)." Watch a video of disgruntled fans at Bieber's show on Monday here:
