On the first night of his world tour, Justin Bieber didn't throw up once; he threw up twice. After vomiting all over centre-stage, the teen star blamed his digestive pyrotechnics on having drunk too much milk before the concert.

As YouTube can attest, everything seemed fine when Bieber bounded on stage on Saturday night, in Glendale, Arizona. But as he cavorted through a performance of Out of Town Girl, bustling up stairs and sidling up to back-up dancers, the gig took a turn for the gastric. Suddenly Bieber turned his back to the crowd, bent over, and spat up his supper. He then rushed backstage. The dancers gamely continued dancing.

Bieber did return, according to the Hollywood Reporter, announcing a plan to "slow things down". But within a few songs, the 18-year-old again fled the spotlights. When he came sheepishly back to the mic, Bieber did not mince his words. "It's hard for me, you know, not feeling great and throwing up in front of a bunch of people," he said. "Will you love me even though I'm throwing up on stage?" As is their wont, Bieber's fans shrieked their approval.

And .... Milk was a bad choice!Lol

The rest of the show was mercifully pukeless. Later that night, Bieber posted a photograph of himself in bed, doleful, "getting better for tomorrow's show". When the singer finally tweeted a reason for his retching, the explanation was suspiciously milquetoast: "Milk was a bad choice!" he wrote. "Lol."
