The pictures came in a ‘photo dump’ the singer did on Friday. It had a collection of images, none of which seemed to be tied to one another in anyway.

The pictures of Bieber shedding tears was accompanied with random pictures. One of them featured a couple onstage while another might have featured some weed, but since it was blurry, it could not be confirmed.

The pictures of Bieber crying hence seem even more misplaced and random. The emotional image showed another side of the singer which not a lot of people see. A male artist rarely would be so emotionally open on their Instagram account to show pictures of themselves in tears.

The pictures concerned Bieber’s fans. One person wrote, “I hope you are doing okay, i hate to see tears running down your face.” Another concerned fan wrote, “Idk what you’re going through man, but hang in there. Find yourself, hang on, peace will follow. You got this!”

Another person commended the singer for his honesty, writing, “I love that you’re not afraid to show your vulnerability and emotions. It’s always great to remember that behind every single celebrities, there’s still a human being. YOU ARE LOVED.”

Another fan added, “justin is a real man he is not afraid of showing his emotions.”

Justin’s wife, Hailey Bieber made sure to let everyone know that the picture might not have been as serious as they were making it out to be. She wrote a lighthearted comment, calling him “a pretty crier.” Her comment signalled to fans that it was not something serious that they need to be worried about.

However, Bieber made quite a lot of other posts on his profile after this particular photodump so it seems like he might be doing alright!
