Justin Bieber: I’m struggling just to get through the days – you get lonely on the road

Justin Bieber has admitted that sometimes he struggles to ‘get through the days’ and is often lonely on the road.

In a new interview, the Canadian pop sensation says that he wants people to know that he’s ‘human’ despite his superstar status.

Speaking to NME, he said: “I just want people to know I’m human. I’m struggling just to get through the days. I think a lot of people are.

“You get lonely, you know, when you’re on the road. People see the glam and the amazing stuff, but they don’t know the other side.”

The 21-year-old, who recently watched the Amy Winehouse documentary, admitted that his life resonated with hers.

He said: “This life can rip you apart. I watched the Amy Winehouse documentary [Amy] on the plane and I had tears in my eyes because I could see what the media was doing to her, how they were treating her.

“People thought it was funny to poke her when she was at rock bottom, to keep pushing her down until she had no more of herself. And that’s what they were trying to do to me."

Bieber, who’s new album Purpose is released on Friday, sees Kanye West as a creative mentor.

“Out of anyone in the industry who is creative and I see eye to eye with, he really gets me,” he told the magazine.

“His advice is always just, ‘make music that’s so good people can’t hate on it.’”

Bieber has just announced that he will be embarking on a world tour in March 2016.
