Justin Bieber has taken to Twitter to assure fans he is making a speedy recovery after collapsing on stage during his show this week (7 March, 2013) at London's O2.
The 19-year-old singer was performing his fourth and final date at the O2 Arena when he collapsed on stage due to breathing difficulties. However it would seem Bieber is feeling better after spending time in a London hospital.
Bieber posted a picture of himself in hopsital on his Instagram account and posted the following message: "getting better listening to Janice Joplin".
The singer was given oxygen and first aid during his concert and managed to continue with the show just 20 minutes after collapsing.

He took to Twitter to thank fans for their support writing, "getting better. thanks for everyone pulling me thru tonight. best fans in the world. figuring out what happened. thanks for the love".
Some fans have been a little less supportive, however, feeling that Bieber faked the illness as part of a publicity stunt to make up for infuriating fans earlier this week by being nearly two hours late on stage.
One posted on Twitter, "Justin Bieber was not sick, its a Publicity Stunt to make up for his late show."
And another said, "Justin Bieber publicity stunt collapse because he cocked up the other night by being 2 hrs late for his fans. Anything for sympathy."
