Justin Bieber apologises to "upset" fans

Justin Bieber has apologised to fans for his late arrival on stage at London's O2 Arena last night (March 4).

The Canadian superstar was slammed for his "disgusting" behaviour after reportedly turning up two hours late for the opening night of his 'Believe' tour in the UK capital.

His delayed arrival saw hundreds of his fans walk-out of the venue and Twitter was ablaze with angry parents after the show.

However, Bieber has defended his late appearance, while apologising for letting his fans down.

Taking to Twitter he wrote: "since i have been here it hasnt been easy with the press at times but I have loved it. so let me say this... last night i was scheduled after 3 opening acts to go on stage at 935 not 830 but because of some technical issues i got on at 10:10..so... i was 40 min late to stage. there is no excuse for that and I apologize for anyone we upset. However it was great show and Im proud of that (sic)."

He added: "and tonight we will run on time and look forward to putting on an amazing show for everyone in attendance. my relationship with the media is not always easy but im trying. Im all about the music and the performance and i respect my fans. i never have any intent to upset or let anyone down. and Im not okay with things being exaggerated. once again sorry for anyone upset."

Bieber also revealed on the social networking site that he is now focused on putting on a great second night in the UK capital for his fans.

He continued: "now we have a show to do today and Im gonna focus on the positive and put on a great show tonight here in London. NIGHT 2 at the 02 is gonna be even better. get ready. thanks (sic)." Watch Bieber perform live on a UK TV show here:
