Justin Bieber Crew Refusing to Do Japan Shows Over Radiation Fears

Justin Bieber‘s stage crew is refusing to go to Japan for two concerts scheduled later this month over fears of radiation from the recent nuclear disaster.

The crew is apparently arguing that it’s unsafe to visit the country for the planned May 17 and May 19 shows, noting that Avril Lavigne and Slash have already cancelled their Japan concerts.

The teen star’s manager Scooter Braun reportedly told the crew that Bieber didn’t want to disappoint the kids who had bought tickets, and noted that the Japanese government has said it’s safe in both Osaka and Tokyo, where the shows are scheduled.

Gossip Cop reached out to a source on Bieber’s tour in Australia, who confirms the situation and tells us they’re “dealing with it now.”

We’ll update when we learn more.

    I don’t blame the crew, I wouldn’t go either. Not just because of the radiation fear but why would you risk an international flight now while things are so unsettled?

    First of all, the japanese government has been lying. I don’t blame the government for some of it, you do not want to tell millions of people ‘THE RADIATION LEVEL IS RISING, WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND WE HAVE NO WHERE TO GO!!!!!!” That said, you can BUY radiation detectors for these crew members BEFORE they go to JAPAN, sign a contract saying that if the level on the detectors indicate a DANGEROUS LEVEL they will leave the country. OR, hire a crew just for JAPAN, TOUGH I KNOW, but you might have to do it.
