Pop music sensation Justin Bieber has tested positive for Covid-19. According to Metro.co.uk, the "Baby" hitmaker has postponed a number of his US tour dates.
The news comes just a week after he opened his Justice World Tour - due in New Zealand in December - to a thrilled SanDiego 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".

"The rescheduled date for Las Vegas will be Tuesday, June 28. Tickets for the original show will be honoured. Refunds available at point of purchase."
While The Times of London described the show as "mesmerising", the "Love Yourself" singer has said of his tour, "We've been working hard to create the best show we've ever done, and we can't wait to share it with fans around the world. I'll see you soon."
Last year the Herald announced New Zealand ticket sales for Bieber's show, which publicists said at the time, "promises to be a celebration for both Justin and his fans, who have been looking forward to these new shows since the pandemic sidelined the previously announced 2020 dates".
The show will feature the Canadian pop star's live versions of hit tracks from his album Justice, which debuted as the most-streamed album in 117 countries when it was released in April.
Selling over 80 million albums, last year he broke Elvis Presley's record as the youngest solo artist to have eight albums reach Number 1 on the Billboard 200 charts.
