But as the night progressed, a noticeable shift occurred. Bieber, who initially appeared calm, began showing signs of deep emotion. His eyes welled up with tears during moments of interaction with the crowd, which many initially interpreted as joy. However, Don Tolliver’s concerned glances hinted at something more. Tolliver frequently looked at Bieber with worry, and at one point, he reached out to hug him, gently tapping his back in a show of support.
The warmth and concern from Tolliver signaled to fans that Bieber might not be in the best mental or emotional state. The atmosphere shifted from celebration to concern, as the crowd started piecing together Bieber’s struggles. Recent drama surrounding Diddy and his influence in the music industry seemed to loom over Bieber’s return. Many fans speculated that Bieber’s tears were not just from joy but from the immense pressures he’s been facing.
One fan at the concert voiced their concern: “He’s not even singing, just walking and vibing on stage. He doesn’t seem to do much for his fans anymore.” Another questioned whether Bieber’s low energy was justified, sparking discussions online about his well-being.
