Justin Bieber’s fans are begging him to cancel his upcoming Hyde Park gig following the Manchester Arena terror attack.

A number of the pop star’s Twitter and Instagram followers posted messages urging him to steer clear of the UK pull out of the scheduled show on July 2.

“Please cancel Justin concerts in the UK! Beliebers is very worried about Justin! If something happens to Justin, then we will never forgive,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

“Cancel Justin's concert in the UK, please! We want him to be safe, please,” one person wrote in a message to Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun.

“If they aren't going to cancel Justin's concert, the better they've the best security in the world, I don't want anything to happen to Him,” posted another fan.

Bieber, who will be headlining the Barclaycard British Summer Time concert, posted a promotional posted for the event just hours before 22 people were killed at Ariana Grande’s concert at Manchester Arena on Monday night.

Grande flew back to Florida earlier this week and is yet to confirm whether or not she’ll be performing the remainder of the UK leg of her tour.

Braun, who also manages Grande, said in a statement: “Our hearts are broken. Words cannot express our sorrow for the victims and families harmed in this senseless attack.

“We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act. We are thankful for the selfless service tonight of Manchester’s first responders, who rushed towards danger to help save lives.

“We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families and all those affected in your hearts and prayers.”

While Blondie and Take That have both pulled out of planned concerts this week, Simple Minds performed in Manchester just 24 hours after the attack.
