Justin Bieber Cancels Remaining Purpose World Tour Stops

NEW YORK, NY — Justin Bieber is canceling the rest of his Purpose World Tour "due to unforeseen circumstances," but his representatives didn't disclose details about the cancellation. A statement released Monday said the singer "loves his fans and hates to disappoint them."

Bieber has been on the tour for the last 18 months, playing more than 150 shows in six continents. The Grammy winner's upcoming shows included stops in the U.S. and Canada, including MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Other stops included Arlington, Texas, Denver and Foxborough, Massachusetts. (For more local news, click here to sign up for real-time news alerts.

The statement said despite the tour's success, "after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates."

Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.

Bieber visited Children's Hospital Orange County Hospital in California last week. Media relations officer Denise Almazan said it was "truly a surprise visit."

"We received a call from one of his representatives who shared that Justin was in Orange County and would love to stop by, if it was convenient for us."

The pop star arrived alone, without an entourage, and spent an hour making several bedside visits, according to Almazan.

Today I got a once in a life time chance to share a heart to heart conversation, several smiles, hugs, but most importantly a beautiful prayer that @justinbieber said. This is the side the world deserves to see of him. His beautiful soul and personality that definitely touched my heart forever. God is so good man ! So thank you again @justinbieber and @chocchildrens best child life specialist Chloe for giving me an unforgettable experience.
