Justin Bieber ‘Happier, More Energetic’ After Being ‘Profoundly Unhappy,’ Says Source

Justin Bieber is returning to his old self after being involved in a series of troubles in recent months.

While speaking with People, a source revealed that the singer’s past issues were a result of him being “profoundly” unhappy. “Exhausted, low energy. He was just miserable. He needed to step back, recalibrate and then figure out his next move,” the source said.

Some of the things that Bieber has been doing include going to church. “It has been a process, but he’s doing so much better. You can talk to him and see that the old Justin is back. He seems happier, more energetic. It’s encouraging. He’s not completely there, but he’s definitely on his way,” the source added.

Bieber recently announced the cancelation of his Purpose world tour in some of Asia, Canada and the country. However, he did not give any reason at that time. Fellow artist John Mayer showed support for the 23-year-old singer via Twitter and told fans that a performer who cancels his world tour “has done real damage to themselves.”

Last month, music manager Scooter Braun told WSJ magazine that Bieber’s troubles just spiraled out of control. “It was more than people realized,” he said. The music mogul also said that he blames himself for what happened to the award-winning singer.

“I failed him day after day. We were living in hell because he was such in a dark place… I made a promise to him when he was 13 that I would never give up on him. I plan on keeping that promise,” he said. A lot of people told Braun to just focus on helping other artists since they believe that Bieber “is done.”

But since he sees the “Baby” singer as his family, he decided to stick by him. “I think the relationship is more like a big brother, especially because he’s become a man. I think he’s seen the worst of himself, and to watch him rise out of it was amazing,” he said.
