Justin Bieber has responded to concerns that he is 'using drugs' following concerns from fans about his appearance.

Bieber fans had recently taken to social media to share their concerns about the singer's health after he made an appearance at a pop-up event for his wife Hailey Bieber's Rhode cosmetic line in Los Angeles.

"He still has some healing to do this is sad, one person wrote under a video taken from the event, while a second added: "I can’t understand people who are laughing at this, truly, I just feel bad for both of them, no one deserves this."

"This is so hard to watch. Someone help him," another fan added.

However, worried Beliebers out there can now rest easy, as a representative for the singer revealed that their fav is simply feeling tired from fatherhood.

Squashing the rumours with a statement to TMZ, Bieber's rep clarified that all rumours about the singer using drugs are 'absolutely not true'.

"The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true," Bieber's rep told the outlet, adding that he was 'in one of the best places in his life'. His tired appearance has also been put down to a combination of working on new music and caring for his infant son, whom he shares with Hailey.

Explaining how the rumours of drug use impact the 'Baby' hitmaker, the representative added that reports linking the 30-year-old musician to drug use were 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive'.

The statement from Bieber's rep came out just after the singer was taking part in a charity hockey game to raise funds for LA wildfire relief, which saw him joking with ET reporters about getting his six-month-old son on skates 'as soon as possible'.

The rep also explained that Bieber had been going through a 'very transformative' year, in which 'he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him'.

Bieber has been candid about his experiences with substance use in the past, revealing in a 2021 interview that drugs had previously been a 'numbing agent' for him.

"It was like I had all this success and it was still like: I’m still sad, and I’m still in pain. And I still have these unresolved issues. And I thought all the success was going to make everything good," he explained.

"And so for me, the drugs were a numbing agent to just continue to get through."
