Hey Justin Bieber—go ahead and take a nice, long break

Justin Bieber deserves a break. 

On the heels of China banning Bieber from performing in the country due to concerns about his past behavior, Bieber cancelled the remaining dates of the Purpose World Tour. Some Beliebers with tickets to the 14 remaining shows are mourning, and his cancellation has also brought attention to the importance of the 23 year old stepping away from the spotlight he’s been under since the age of 16. 

It isn’t the first time he’s stepped back from fans and, for his sake, hopefully it is not the last.
