Justin Bieber was spotted at a spa in West Hollywood, California, without a shirt on and appearing somewhat disheveled, sparking concern among fans.
The 30-year-old Canadian singer was photographed shirtless as he visited the spa in Southern California accompanied by fellow musician Mk.gee, 28.
The pop star’s wife Hailey Bieber, 28, did not appear to be present, amid speculation about the couple’s relationship.
On that particular Tuesday, the two-time Grammy winner sported a backwards New York Yankees baseball cap and a blue jacket, opting to go shirtless and complementing his look with baggy chartreuse shorts.
The Baby singer rounded out his ensemble with beige furry shoe boots and white socks, days after he stepped out in NYC wearing a bathrobe on a visit to a spa.
Bieber’s outing this week came on the heels of recent concerns about his appearance and health, as an insider recently described Bieber as a ‘loose cannon’ to DailyMail.com.
The recent spate of disconcerting public outings comes around six months after Bieber welcomed his first child with Hailey, son Jack Blues.
An eyewitness at the spa on Wednesday told Dailymail.com that Bieber appeared to be clear-headed as he visited the establishment, describing his demeanor as ‘really chill’ and ‘easy going.’

Bieber’s disheveled appearance comes amid a rumored return to the musical world comes more than five months after musical artist Mk.gee, who appeared to be accompanying Bieber to the spa, spoke with the The New York Times about the material he had recently written and recorded with Bieber.
Mk.gee said that creatively, Bieber was ‘searching’ after having cemented his place atop the genre throughout the 2010s and early part of this decade.
‘Anything that comes out of his mouth: That’s pop music,’ Mk.gee said of Bieber. ‘You can really do pretty wild stuff behind that, just because it represents something.’
The Love Yourself singer recently made headlines after he unfollowed a series of notable names on his Instagram account earlier this year, including mentor Usher; ex managers Scooter Braun and Allison Kaye; father-in-law Stephen Baldwin; and one-time associates Ryan Good and Kenny Hamilton, The U.S. Sun reported.
Bieber, in his musical comeback, ‘needs the money and wants to work,’ sources told Puck News’ Matthew Belloni in his What I’m Hearing newsletter last month, in a column making entertainment predictions for the new year.
Bieber ‘still owes’ the touring company AEG ‘a ton for his canceled tour’ in March of 2023, Belloni reported.
The Peaches artist also has a hot of ‘other pop star expenses’ weighing on his bottom line, Belloni reported.

Bieber’s return to the limelight will come with a new lineup of supporting staff, after he parted ways with Braun within the last two years.
Braun last summer announced his retirement from music management, after past having represented superstars including Bieber, Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato.
According to the newsletter, Bieber is now being represented by lawyer Michael Rhodes, who has past represented celebrities such as Madonna and members of the Kardashian family.
Bieber’s financial issues come two years after he sold rights to his catalog for $200 million in 2023, in a deal the Los Angeles Times reported Rhodes was integral in.
Bieber’s most recent studio album was Justice in 2021.
The album garnered critical acclaim and spawned successful commercial tracks such as Peaches, a Billboard Hot 200 chart-topper; and the top 10 hits Holy, Anyone and Ghost.
Bieber in February of 2023 officially canceled the remainder of his Justice World Tour after the singer said he was diagnosed with the condition Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which can lead to facial paralysis.
Bieber had previously had to cancel shows on the tour in the fall of 2022, explaining his absences from the stage in an emotional post on his Instagram Stories.
‘Earlier this year, I went public with my battle with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, where my face was partially paralyzed,’ he said. ‘As a result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North American leg of the Justice Tour.
He said that he suffered health woes after performing a set at the Rock in Rio festival.
‘After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now,’ he said. ‘So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being. I’m going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better.
‘I’ve been so proud to bring this show and our message of Justice to the world. Thank you for your prayers and support throughout all of this! I love you all passionately!’
