After Adele’s concert hit, Canadian pop star Justin Bieber is set to perform in Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane this March 13 and will fly in a private jet to Coolangatta to stay on the Coast while he is in Queensland.
However, Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate, who admits not being a Bieleber, said that the pop star is welcome in the Coast granting he obliges with a condition.
“He is more than welcome to come here but he has to leave the spray can at home”, Tate said.
Tate said that “graffiti has actually gone down since he was last here and we want to keep it that way.”
“If he wants to leave his mark, he should go down to the botanic gardens and plant a tree.”
It is said that the council spends a million dollar annually on graffiti clean-up.
It can be recalled that Tate was unimpressed with the graffiti and the spray cans left by Bieber and his crew last November 2013, at QT Hotel in Surfer’s Paradise where the pop star stayed during his tour.
In the video recorded by Tate for that incident, he demanded Bieber to clean up the mess, stating ““I’ve got a message for pop princess Justin Bieber.”, “We love your music, but we hate your graffiti and your vandalism here in our city.”
“Come back and clean up your mess, or come back and sing at the mayor’s Christmas carol this Saturday on the 7th of December at Broadwater Parklands,” Tom said. “Make me a Belieber.”
However, despite mayor’s view of Bieber marring the city by his graffiti, QT Hotel did not share the same impression as the mayor’s, saying, “it was a coup for the hotel to have Justin want to paint a piece of art in appreciation of his stay.”
The superstar, who kicked off his Purpose tour in Perth this week, reportedly prefers to be out of sight of his security to spend time and socialize with his fans and, reports had it that his team is planning a wild party for him at the superstar’s behest; selected guests are to enter into confidentiality agreement proscribing them to leak details regarding the party in all forum, lest they be sued for a hefty amount of $4 million.
Bieber who celebrated his 23rd birthday last March 1 tweeted, “ It’s my birthday and all I want is to be a better friend, better brother, better son and better man.”
It seems the superstar is bent in doing so. He left his $25,000 per night Chairman’s Villa at Crown Tower to skate at Leederville Skate Park, joined by his bodyguards. He chatted with fans who approached him. It was far from his last visit last 2013 at Perth were he made headlines, his bodyguard having accused of pushing a fan’s father and him likening one girl to a “beached whale”.
The 23-year-old has not been in Queensland since he infamously painted graffiti across the tennis court at QT Hotel in Surfers Paradise, with Mayor Tom Tate demanding he clean it up himself.
