Justin Bieber tells fan 'you make me sick'

BIEBER fever has officially broken out in Sydney with the super star now serenading fans, after earlier meeting some of “the Beliebers” at the airport, ahead of his Purpose tour show.

Earlier, wearing a Pink Floyd T-shirt and clear fashion glasses, the 23-year-old resembled rapper Eminem as he made his way off a private jet, while a police vehicle waited nearby.

More than 70,000 “Beliebers” are at ANZ Stadium tonight — taking the total attendance for Adele and Bieber concerts to more than 260,000 since Friday.

Bieber’s trip Down Under has been marred in controversy since he arrived on March 5.

The performer reportedly told a Melbourne fan that she made him “sick” after she took a photograph with him prior to his concert on Friday night.

The super star reportedly responded: “You’re invading my privacy”.

“I don’t want a photo.”

Bieber has also been accused of putting on an uninspiring show for fans at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium, with fans claiming he looked “bored” while performing.

Earlier today, Bieber took to Instagram to provide an explanation for Tuesday’s expletive ridden rant, which saw him telling Channel 7 reporters to “f … off, mate,” before giving them the finger.

The Love Yourself hit-maker claimed he was simply paying tribute to a favourite Australian comedy series, Chris Lilley’s Summer Height High.

“I said ‘puck you, miss’,” he said to the camera.

“There’s a difference between bullying and joking around. I was joking around.”

Those eagle ... err ... eared among us would immediately be able to identify what’s happening here.

The video, sent out to his more than 80 million Instagram followers, continues with him being asked: “Will you apologise to the cameraman?”

“Sorry, Ben,” he replied. “I was doing it for fun, he just didn’t get that it was fun.”

“The news lady is very upset with what you said Justin.

“You on your period or what miss,” Bieber responded.
