Justin Bieber sparked concern when he was seen in public for the first time since his former mentor Sean 'Diddy' Combs was indicted on sex trafficking charges. The singer, who recently became a first-time father, looked like he was 'going through it' according to one worried fan.

Images obtained by the Mirror showed the star and his wife Hailey attending a church service - their first joint outing since they became parents to son Jack. However Justin's gaunt appearance led to many speculating about his health, with another fan saying: "He doesn't look healthy and that hurts my heart." Another said: "Justin looks rough. Maybe being a new parent is hard or that Diddy stuff is really getting to him."

Videos featuring a 15-year-old Bieber and Combs have recently resurfaced in the wake of the millionaire rapper's arrest earlier this month. Combs, 54, was jailed without bail on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution - although he denies the charges, with his lawyer describing the music mogul as "an innocent man with nothing to hide".

While Combs remains incarcerated at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Centre, it's claimed Bieber was focusing his attention on parenthood. Before any charges were made public against Combs, Bieber, now 30, featured on his recent album, appearing on a track titled Moments.

Bieber had expressed his gratitude for the collaboration on Instagram following the album's drop last September. He told followers: "I remember going to my brother Diddy's office to pitch him a song I wrote for him when I was like 14, sadly the song was trash haha. And it would be a hard no from him, fast forward to a few years ago Puff asked if I would freestyle something for his upcoming love album. Wild full circle moment, love you @diddy."

But since Combs' arrest, rumours have circulated that Bieber now regrets his involvement with the project. An insider claimed: "Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off. So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him."
