Justin Bieber shares emotional message after fans' concern over his health
Justin Bieber has opened up about his struggles with his own self-worth in an emotional message.
The 'Baby' singer, 31, told worried fans that he often feels like he is 'a fraud' in a post shared to his Instagram on Thursday (13 March).
His supporters have been sharing their concerns for the star on social media over the last few months, although his team insisted he was actually 'in one of the best places in his life' in February.
Bieber then shared a video of him smoking, which only fuelled the rumours surrounding him further.

Bieber's fanbase - who are famously known as 'Beliebers' - also raised their worries about his relationship with wife Hailey Bieber, 28, after he appeared to unfollow her earlier this year - although he later said someone else did this on his Instagram account.
The couple got hitched back in September 2018 and welcomed their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, in August last year.
The Canadian hitmaker has now spoken out about an internal battle he has been facing for his 'whole life' in a statement shared on social media.
Bieber wrote: "People told me my whole life, 'Wow Justin, you deserve that', and I personally have always felt unworthy.
"Like I was a fraud, like when people told me I deserve something.
"It made me feel sneaky like damn if they only knew my thoughts," Bieber continued. "How judgemental I am, how selfish I really am. They wouldn't be saying this.
"I say all this to say. If you feel sneaky, welcome to the club.
"I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days."
Bieber's brutally honest remarks have again sparked fears among his fans, who flooded the internet with messages of support for the pop star.
One person said: "The guy is dealing with some serious demons at the moment."
Another wrote: "Many people, especially those in the public eye, face pressures that can make them feel unworthy or like impostors. It’s really honest of Justin Bieber to share his struggles."
And a third added: "Wow. Poor kid. The cost of being famous."
The Grammy winner spoke out in 2022 about how he suffered 'an emotional breakdown' shortly after getting married.
"I thought marriage was going to fix all my problems and it didn't," Bieber said, while confessing he came to the harsh realisation that he was 'a bit of a hypocrite'.
The same year, he was forced to cancel his world tour after being diagnosed with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, telling fans he needed to make his health his 'priority'.
The rare illness causes facial paralysis, hearing loss and also impact the vocal cords.
