Bieber's concert was scheduled to start at 8:30, starting with front acts by Carly Rae Jepsen and Jaden Smith. Bieber was to go on stage right after, but the audience was kept waiting for him instead.

On Twitter, the 19-year-old singer wrote, "since i have been here it hasnt been easy with the press at times but I have loved it. so let me say this...last night i was scheduled after 3 opening acts to go on stage at 935 not 830 but because of some technical issues i got on at 10:10..so...i was 40 min late to stage. there is no excuse for that and I apologize for anyone we upset."

He added, "However it was great show and Im proud of that and tonight we will run on time and look forward to putting on an amazing show for everyone in attendance."

"[M]y relationship with the media is not always easy but im trying. Im all about the music and the performance and i respect my fans."

"[I] never have any intent to upset or let anyone down. and Im not okay with things being exaggerated. once again sorry for anyone upset."

He added, "NIGHT 2 at the 02 is gonna be even better. get ready. thanks"
