Revealed: Justin Bieber’s year of hell

We all remember Justin Bieber in 2014 after his DUI arrest and meltdown which played out in the public eye.

But it turns out that year was a lot more difficult than let on.

“It was worse than people realised,” Scooter Braun, Justin’s manager, admitted in a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal.

“I failed him day after day. We were living in hell because he was in such a dark place,” he told to the outlet.

It even got to a point where “some of the biggest people in the industry” were telling the 36-year-old manager to forget about Justin and move on.

But he didn’t give up on the artist due to a promise he made him when he was 13-years-old telling him he’d “never give up on him”.

The 23-year-old has since turned to religion and has made his devotion to the Hillsong Church very public.

The Biebs has been keeping a relatively low profile since cancelling his Purpose World Tour due to “unforseen circumstances”.

He’s still yet to clarify exactly what those circumstances were, but many have speculated he pulled the plug on the tour so he could focus on his spirituality.
