Why Justin Bieber is not performing at 2024 NHL All-Star event?
Fans were highly anticipating Justin Bieber's performance at this year's NHL All-Star event.
However, NHL Chief Content Officer Steve Mayer revealed on Tuesday that the pop icon won't be performing at this year's event due to health concerns related to the Ramsay Hunt syndrome:
“Bieber hasn’t performed live since 2022 as he deals with a health concern known as Ramsay Hunt syndrome, so the idea of him performing during the All-Star festivities was off the table pretty early,”
Mayer added:
“Him being involved, that was a no-brainer. You’re going to see that he’s going to be very present.”
Although Justin Bieber will not be on stage, he will join Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews and defenseman Morgan Rielly to select one of four teams in the NHL All-Star Player Draft on Feb. 2.
