Justin Bieber?s London tour stop hasn?t exactly been smooth sailing.

The Canadian crooner, who was widely criticized for his ?worst birthday? tantrum over the weekend, irritated his faithful fans and their parents Monday night by taking the stage nearly two hours late. But the 19-year-old is already doing damage control, insisting the story is being blown out of proportion though issuing an apology anyway.

The Biebs was scheduled to take the stage at London's O2 Arena at 8:30 p.m. on Monday. However, the young star didn?t hit the stage until 10:20. While typically Beliebers think the star can do no wrong, they grew impatient while waiting ? and concert footage showed them booing from their seats.

According to BBC News, many parents were irritated as well because they arrived to pick up their children at the venue, where doors had opened at 6.30 p.m., just as Bieber was finally taking the stage. Some insisted that their children leave before the show started ? after all, it was a school night ? forfeiting the price of the expensive tickets.

Bieber had excuses ? as well as an apology ? for his tardy arrival at the sold-out show.

?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,? he tweeted Tuesday. ?There is no excuse for that and I apologize for anyone we upset. However it was great show and Im proud of that.

?Tonight we will run on time and look forward to putting on an amazing show for everyone in attendance,? he continued. ?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.?

He ended by writing, ?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.?

First he was just a talentless kid who got famous. Now he is talentless kid who is now a spoilt brat.

Also the hat he is wearing? Who does he think he is Brian Harvey?

Like all these poppy bands, they soon fade away when their fan base either grows up or finds another "heart throb" to follow.

He's not doing very good over here in the UK. He got knocked back from a nightclub in Manchester because he 'shuffles on stage' .. it was of course, just a publicity stunt by the club, a very good one at that, because everyone is talking about it. however, because of these little incidents he's been in the news quite a bit.

The social media uproar has been hilarious, i've got to laugh at grown blokes bashing their keyboards with hatred for Bieber.. i don't think YOU are his target audience, mate, so give it a rest.

He's getting dangerously close to becoming a scumbag. Once he starts hanging out with Lindsey Lohan, he'll seal the deal.

"dangerously close" Hmmm in my opinion him and all the rest already are...... .What a world we live in when some overpaid kid waste regular peoples time in this way ,and of course there is always an excuse. Ohhhhh its not my fault its the roadies fault or my PR guy or my manager but never the "stars" fault. SAD SAD SAD go figure and now me and the rest are wasting time talking about this " scumbag".

Thanks for tagging your user name bro, I would have never figured out what it was otherwise.

You may be the first one to ever bash Bieber as a first post. You sir, have my respect. :D

So, was his tweet about him being scheduled for 9:35pm correct? Were there actually 3 opening bands before his? If what he said is right, then waiting around an extra 40 mins would be more-or-less common place in the US.

Just saying...

My step-daughter loves Bieber (has like 3 posters of him up in her room), but she is at that age. I haven't listened to the guy but I assume I wouldn't like his style because I was never into Justin Timberlake when I was younger.

    • Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
