The 23-year-old singer, who pulled out of the
remaining 14 dates of his "Purpose" world tour on July 24 and
injured the photographer after a Beverly Hills church service
two days later, said he had let his "broken relationships
dictate the way I acted toward people."
"i let bitterness, jealousy and fear run my life.!!!!," the
singer said in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
"Im VERY aware I'm never gonna be perfect, and I'm gonna keep
making mistakes but what I'm not gonna do is let my past dictate
my future," he added.
The Canadian pop star said the tour had taught him "so much
about myself," in what he called a "very grammatically incorrect
but its from the heart" Instagram post.
He did not mention the incident with the photographer, who
suffered non-life threatening injuries and thanked Bieber in an
Instagram video last week for staying with him until emergency
services came after the accident.
After playing more than 150 shows, Bieber pulled out of his
tour, citing only "unforeseen circumstances" at the time, which
frustrated and worried his fans. It also brought support,
including from singer-songwriter John Mayer, who gave Bieber
credit for looking after his mental health.
A day after canceling his tour, Bieber told celebrity news
outlet TMZ.com that he was looking forward to "just resting and
getting some relaxation" after two years on the road.
Since he broke out as a young fresh-faced teen pop singer,
Bieber has amassed a devoted fan base of mostly young girls. He
has faced an intense public spotlight, including a high-profile
on-and-off relationship with singer-actress Selena Gomez that
ended in 2012, and several run-ins with the law.
