Despite just a few months passing since he made an emotional apology to fans for his past behaviour, Justin Bieber was reportedly put in a chokehold and thrown out of Coachella on Sunday night (12 April).

The singer has been embroiled in several brushes with the law over the past few years, including incidences of drink-driving, vandalism and assault. In January, after he appeared on The Ellen Show, he uploaded a video to YouTube telling fans: "I didn't want to come off arrogant or conceited or basically how I've been acting the past year, year and a half. I'm not who I was pretending to be.

"Why I say pretending is often we pretend to be something we're not as a cover up of what we're truly feeling inside and there was a lot of feelings in there... I want people to know how much I care about people,and how I'm not that person to say 'I don't give a fuck', I'm not that kid."

Unfortunately, according to TMZ, old habits die hard - as Bieber reportedly began arguing with security at Coachella after he and his entourage were refused access to the artist entrance area during Drake's headline performance.

The singer is said to have claimed he was personally invited by Drake to watch his set in the side-stage area, but the festival's security team didn't take kindly to his claims. He was subsequently put him into a chokehold, after which he voluntarily left.

Bieber's most recent musical contribution was on the song 'Where Are Ü Now', as part of the collaboration between Skrillex and Diplo. He's set to headline his first ever UK festival - Birmingham's Fusion Festival - in August. See below for tickets and information.
