OSLO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber,
who made a triumphant return to the European stage at the MTV
Europe Music Awards in Milan on Sunday, abruptly canceled his
concert in Oslo on Thursday night after performing just one
song.
The singer, who found fame at 13 and went on to become a
global pop phenomenon, scooped five prizes in Milan, including
Best Male and Biggest Fans, and next month is to release his
first album in three years, during which bad behavior offstage
risked damaging his family-friendly teen heartthrob

"I'm done, I'm not doing the show," he told his fans, known
as "beliebers", after complaining that they did not listen to
him while he was trying to wipe up spilled water, a video from
the concert posted on the website of Norwegian daily VG showed.
"Sadly it's been a rough week for me, long days, no sleep,
while having to be 'on' as they would say for cameras fans
etc...," he later said in a post on Instagram, apologizing.
"In no way did I mean to come across mean, but chose to end
the show as the people in the front row would not listen."
His private jet took off from Oslo's airport just after
midnight, leaving his fans shaken, and some in tears, VG said.
Bieber is extremely popular in Norway, with some schools
even having rescheduled exams in the past so their students
could attend his concerts.
