Justin Bieber’s plans to expand the massively-successful Purpose World Tour to Argentina has been canned out of fear of being arrested.
The Canadian sensation’s tour is expanding to South America, Japan and Australia, but a previously issued arrest warrant in Argentina is complicating things. The warrant against Bieber has been dropped, but there is a pending criminal case against his bodyguard.

The artist’s lawyers fear the Argentinean government may bring him in and Bieber says, in a series of tweets, that there is nothing he can do to rectify the situation.
If things were to change I would love to come but at this time I cannot. For everyone else in South America I look forward to seeing you

Argentina I do love you. It is in fact one of my favorite places to tour. I wish this was not the case. My lawyers say it is what it is.
