Justin Bieber asks Manchester crowd to 'stay quiet' during ballads and cuts chat short

Justin Bieber asked his fans to keep quiet before singing a song at Thursday night's gig in Manchester.

"Try and stay as quiet as possible," he said. "You can scream as much as you want afterwards but while I'm singing try and stay quiet."

It was the first of three dates in the city for the Canadian pop star.

Later, the 22-year-old cut a chat with the crowd short while trying to explain why his trek across the globe was called the Purpose World Tour.

"I just thought I could have a moment to say something. I can cut [it] if you want," he said.

"I'm trying to engage but if you guys don't want to, I'll play the music."

This is video of Justin Bieber talking to the crowd in Manchester.

But some fans weren't happy that Justin Bieber had told them to be quiet.

Hollyoaks actress Nadine Mulkerrin was there and tweeted: "We love your music but you are RUDE!!!!!!!!"

Daniella Bells said his fans are the reason he's successful.

Morgan agrees and says he needs to appreciate his fans.

But other fans thought people in the crowd who were screaming and booing weren't true fans.

This tweeter said that the people who booed and shouted aren't true fans.

This person wasn't happy with people at the gig either.

This Twitter user apologised on behalf of Manchester.

Justin Bieber also told fans in Birmingham earlier this week to calm down and stop screaming while he was talking.

Meg recorded Justin Bieber's chat with parts of the crowd.

He told the crowd in Birmingham: "I appreciate it, I appreciate all the love, it's amazing, but can you show it in a different way? Screaming is just so obnoxious."

The singer has had an awkward relationship with his fans recently.

Earlier this year he said he didn't want fans to ask him for photos any more because they made him "feel like a zoo animal".

The post about feeling like a zoo animal came after Justin was pictured walking a round a park in Boston with no shoes on

Then in July a video was shared on Twitter showing Justin Bieber refusing to hug a young female fan.
