Justin Bieber has apologised for disappointing British fans who missed out on his concert after he appeared on stage two hours late.

Making amends for the late start of his London 02 Arena gig, the singing sensation apologised on Twitter for his late arrival. "Last night I was scheduled after 3 opening acts to go on stage at 935 not 830 but because of some technical issues I got on at 10:10," he wrote. "There is no excuse and I apologise for anyone we upset. However it was great show and I'm proud of that." "I never have any intent to upset or let anyone down. And I'm not okay with things being exaggerated. Once again sorry for anyone upset," added the singer. The singer's sell-out show at London's O2 arena was full of young 'Beliebers' whose bedtime came and went before their idol got round to his performance, which finally began at 10.35 to a chorus of booing.
