Grammy Award-winning Canadian singing sensation Justin Bieber arrived in Mumbai early on Wednesday amidst tight security for his maiden concert in India, looking relaxed and geared up to regale Indian ‘Beliebers’ as part of his Purpose World Tour.
The several hundreds of media persons and fans, who had parked themselves at various points outside the Mumbai Airport for a glimpse of Bieber, were largely disappointed.
It was earlier speculated that Bieber would land in India on May 8. Later the singer himself piqued the curiosity with a tweet.
“Dubai is incredible… India you are next. @Amit_Bhatia99 u ready? Purpose Tour Stadiums,” Bieber wrote on early Tuesday.
After rocking the stage in Dubai on May 6, the singer is set to perform in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday.
Bieber is likely to fly in a private helicopter to the D.Y. Patil Stadium for his concert, which will first see Indian DJs on stage followed by Norwegian DJ Alan Walker.
The tour is to promote his fourth album, the critically-acclaimed “Purpose”, in which he has experimented with more adventurous electronic sounds. Tickets are priced upwards of Rs 5,000, and fans have come from different parts of the country to be a part of the gig.
He will be served rich authentic cuisine representing the 29 Indian states. A convoy of 10 luxury sedans and two Volvo buses will be at the disposal of the artist and his entourage of 120 throughout their stay.
To top it, a Rolls Royce has been reserved for Bieber. Even the suite of the five-star hotel where Bieber will stay has been modified to include truly Indian elements.
A string of designers have created customised souvenirs for the star, who will be accompanied to India by his mother. Together, they will explore Delhi, Agra and Jaipur after the much-awaited gig.
Bieber came to the fore around 2008, promoted by Usher. Baby became his claim to fame in 2010 and he garnered a huge fan, which continued to grow with songs like Where are u now, Boyfriend, Love yourself and As long as you love me.
