The upcoming Justin Bieber shows in Dubai have been cancelled due to the artist's ill health, organisers announced Thursday. The 'Baby' singer was slated to perform on October 8 and October 9 at the Coca Cola Arena.

Thomas Ovesen, owner of TOP Entertainment, the promoters for the show, said "First and foremost we support Justin in putting his health and wellbeing first. Whilst his decision to cancel the two Dubai dates is very disappointing for his many Middle East fans, we are sending him our best wishes for a speedy recovery. Our thoughts are also with everyone on the Justice World Tour as well as the many people involved in preparing the Dubai shows."
