Justin Bieber tests positive for Covid, reschedules US tour

Pop music sensation Justin Bieber has tested positive for Covid-19. 

Justin Bieber has a mild case of Covid-19, a representative for Bieber was quoted as telling CNN.

Bieber was scheduled to perform as part of his "Justice World Tour" in Las Vegas on Sunday, but the show has been postponed due to Covid.

"Due to positive COVID results within the Justice Tour family, we will unfortunately have to postpone Sunday's show in Las Vegas. Justin is of course hugely disappointed, but the health and safety of his crew and fans is always his number one priority. The tour launch in San Diego was a massive success, and Justin is excited to bring this spectacular show to his Las Vegas fans as soon as possible," the statement from T-Mobile Arena stated.

The news comes just a week after he opened his Justice World Tour - due in New Zealand in December - to a thrilled San Diego crowd which included his wife, Hayley Bieber, reports Metro.

Shortly after, it was announced his Las Vegas concert would be postponed due to an outbreak in Bieber's team.

The 27-year-old reportedly learned he had contracted the virus over the weekend and, according to TMZ, his rep shared he is "feeling okay".
