In Billboard’s cover story, Justin Bieber explains the boundaries he set for his career while approaching the release of his sixth studio album, “Justice.” “I definitely learned how to have boundaries,” he tells the publication. “And I just don’t feel like I owe anybody anything. That has helped me to be able to just say no and just be firm in it and know that my heart [wants] to help people, but I can’t do everything. I want to sometimes, but it’s just not sustainable.”
During the interview, the “Yummy” singer mentions how he doesn’t carry a cellphone, relying on his iPad to communicate, limiting people’s access to him. The singer notes his work schedule, explaining that he gets off at 6 p.m. to be “husband Justin” to his wife, Hailey Bieber. The Grammy-winning artist reflects on the end of his Purpose tour, in which he canceled 14 shows. His team considered the abrupt cancellation as a “clear mental health crisis.” Things began to change for the 27-year-old after seeking therapy and strengthening his relationship with God. “I just changed my priorities so that I didn’t [become] another statistic of young musicians that ended up, like, not making it,” he said. “There was a time where I really did have my identity wrapped up in my career, but I really do have an overflow of feeling like my purpose is to use my music to inspire.”

“I made every bad decision you could have thought of,” he recalls. “And went from one of the most loved and adored people in the world to the most ridiculed, judged, and hated person in the world.”
As he reflects on his career and life, Bieber has set boundaries to protect his mental health.
